I’m so proud of her. She loves the 3 Stooges and the Marx Brothers. She’s reading her book report about the Marx Brothers today, so she’s dressing as Harpo. She has a bicycle horn and a top hat. She’s wearing one of my old suit coats, and we stuffed the pockets with all sorts of “stuff”: a kitchen timer, a piece of matzah, a coffee mug, etc. She even practiced grabbing someone’s arm to hold her leg.
She’s prefectly in tune with my silly side. What more can I ask for?
Will she be chasing pretty blondes around the classroom, leering suggestively at them?
Remember: if she’s arrested for cutting someone’s tie in half, she has the right to remain silent.
Just how does Harpo read a book report to the class?
Did she remember to practice her “gookie”?You can’t be a good Harpo without a quality “gookie”.
Going to be kind of hard to read a book report out loud dressed as Harpo. Maybe she should pantomine and whistle the whole thing.

She happens to cross her eyes quite well, so the “gookie” went fine. She also whistles pretty well.
That’s really cool. My brother did a report on the Marxes (or maybe just Groucho) in… maybe 6th grade or so. He brought in some footage, but I doubt he dressed up. We both got into them at the same time, but sadly I was past the age for dressing up for projects at that point. But I’ll be Groucho for this coming Halloween - and I have no idea why that idea didn’t occur to me until recently.
