Silly Pyjama Stories might not be an April Fool

Be on the look-out for silly pyjama stories this week-end as today is April Fool’s Day. We looked at this in more detail last year in our blog “Play the Fool Adult Onesie”, but we are expecting some great new hoaxes on social media today. To get you in the mood, there were a couple of news stories which might be inspired by April Fool’s – in these days of fake news it’s hard to tell. From the Roanoke Times in Virginia USA, this headline caught our attention, “If your life were an article of clothing, what would it be?” Frankly, this is something we hadn’t considered. The blogger concluded, “I would pick a nightgown — something comfy, cosy and forgiving”. Now you think we are going to say a onesie – something fun and versatile that you can lounge all day in. But no, we want our life to be represented by a tuxedo, something that James Bond might wear, classy and well-cut that would leave you shaken but not stirred. Or how about a tartan jock strap; could keep your bits in check, hugs close to the skin like an old friend. But talking of smelly things close to the skin, we then saw, from a student newspaper the Eyeopener, “Girl wears nothing but same pair of pyjamas for two years”. Apparently one of their college students is on a four year long mission to wear nothing but the same pair of pyjamas every day for the entirety of her degree course and she is already two years in. You might think this is another of those silly pyjama stories but there is much support for her project and she has a growing social media following. Then someone says they have found someone who has written a book about onesies. Diana McDonough’s new novel is called “Stuck in the Onesies” but sadly it’s not about wearing your onesie pyjamas for four years, it’s a reference to the game of jacks where getting stuck in the onesies on the first turn means forever playing catch-up. No fake news here, bet you can’t wait for next week’s silly pyjama stories.
