Don’t Wig Out Or Dad Will Wig Out

(In the UK there is a reality TV programme where two people are paired up for a blind date at a fancy restaurant based on their personalities and interests. On one episode, one of the couples is a pair of cosplayers. I am a new cosplayer at this point, trying to finish a costume off for my first convention at the end of the month. I’m dressing as a male character (I’m a girl) and have just bought a wig. My family are watching this TV show.)

Dad: “They do what? As a hobby? My God!”

Mum: “What?”

Dad: “This… dressing up! That’s so weird; why would you want to? I can’t see why an adult would!” *scoffs*

Me: *walking into the room in full Marty McFly costume* “Hey, Mum? Do you think this wig looks realistic enough?”
