Oh, man! The first spring we moved into West Bridgford, we were not prepared for the competitive intensity of the Easter Bonnet Competition.

Funnily enough a video from 17 years ago popped up today of my daughter at nursery in the Easter bonnet parade.
A real split between mentalists with parental hats so big and heavy kid could barely walk and normals (like us) with a yellow strip of card just about holding together with sellotape in a ring, with child drawn and stuck on stuff on it.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. is an Easter Bonnet competition?
-
It's a component part of the systematic infantilisation of the UK population by church and state.
You might want to copy and paste that. Not surprisingly it's the answer to a lot of questions.
-
Whilst I'm mostly on board with your view of UK society, can it be infantilisation if it is 3 year olds taking part?
-
The school is called Radcliffe on Trent Infant & Nursery school.

School is a place where you learn things, that are designed to stay with you throughout your life. I wouldn't expect Ingo to understand. No excuse for the rest of you.
-
But infantilisation is specifically the treatment of an adult as though they were a child?
So it is surely impossible to do that to an actual child?
-
If you want to explore this seriously, can I suggest that you read what I actually wrote?
-
I have. Guru asked what an Easter bonnet competition was in reference to Florists story about his kids Easter bonnet competition.
You replied that an Easter bonnet competition was infantilisation.
Now you are going to tell me that Guru didn't mention kids and so you're comment in response to him is valid.
I will counter that if you follow the logic of the conversation from Florist to Guru then your comment isn't.
And I guess we agree to disagree at this point.

The Easter Bonnet competition was a competition in which primary school children were tasked with making an Easter Bonnet.

Is there anything you lot won’t argue about?
-
No I didn't. You are going to need to read that again.
-
I don't think the question is necessarily binary.
