Subversive Tescos

Popped into Tescos to do some last minute shopping before it all gets rather silly this weekend. Got some dog food, cereal, milk; you know Christmas essentials. On the way out a Tesco Santa jovially approached my daughter and gave her a goody bag (crayons, colouring-in book, balloon). My daughter (Freya 5 years) was a little suspicious and is now wondering if there may be more than one Father Christmas as the one she is more familar with, and frequently chats to on the phone, has a deeper voice.

At home Freya started on the colouring-in book, which includes pictures, dot-to-dot and word searches. Here was the Christmas word search:

And before you ask, this is completely undoctorer.

Piss, that's funny. Do you think that they did that on purpose?

You mean you didn't highlight the area that says piss in white?
