I spotted my daughter Natalie’s bra on the bed post, just hanging there, whilst she was out shopping with my other daughter Steph. The bra called to me – the urge was too much!

No, not to wear it, but to do something silly with it.

I glanced around, and decided the pillow would make a good “body”. With the pillow in a vertical position, I dressed it with the bra, smiling at my own foolishness. However, I decided that the bra wasn’t enough. More silliness was needed. I grabbed Nat’s woolly hat which was at the foot of the bed, and her slippers, and it then appeared that there was a very short person sitting up against the cast iron headboard, wearing only a bra for clothing. A pair of my cheap reading glasses finished off the job, now giving the appearance of a face.

Nats came home, went to her bedroom and from the other room I heard her remark, “What is wrong with you?” and laughing.

Some hours later, Nats phoned me in my office (yes, we do that – we phone each other when we are in the same house. It’s so much better than shouting, especially as Steph’s room is the loft). She asked me to come to her room for a minute.

When I got there Steph said, “Oh, she’s in your room, and wants a cuddle”. This was not unusual with us three, so I suspected nothing. On entering my room, I found not one, but two BAP people (i.e. people made up of Bits And Pieces, hence BAP), in my bed, apparently representing me and Anna (my other half).

Cleverly, the little squirt used toilet rolls on my body double to get the height and width of a face, so she could put glasses on it, as well as stagger the rolls in such a way that she could use a Nasal spray bottle as the nose – how appropriate. My dressing gown and slippers complete the look, but my Doppelganger is reading a Justin Beiber book – I don’t think so!!! Anna is wearing a short PE skirt and cropped top, with a fluffy cat providing her head. Hmmm. I wonder if I can convince her to wear this kind of clothing… (Anna, not the cat!).

All in all, this is just one of the things we do for fun in our house. Have a go yourself and tell us what you did, and also the reaction you got – don’t forget to send a picture. Oh, and for the record – dressing yourself up in your wife’s clothes and sitting on the bed waiting for her is not quite the same thing. We accept no responsibility if you do this and she replies by way of divorce papers!

Over the next few days, I made the Christmas Bap person, and then for my daughter Steph, proudly gay, there was the Bap person coming out of the closet! Yes I know, I need to get out more!
