Me and the boy need to get ejected from a Christening on Sunday morning so that we can go and do something else. My daughter will want to stay to look at the priest’s dress. With a bit of luck she will ask loudly why he is wearing one.

Escape tips greatly accepted. Preferably ones that won’t look too deliberate so that I don’t end up in the dog house with the missus afterwards. If Murray makes it to the final she’ll be looking for a bail out too.

You’re suggestions please.

Bottle of water down boy's front early in the service?

Edit: you don't need to make it look like he's wet himself, but that would add to the amusement.

You could cancel last minute claiming the boy's got a suspected dose of the pox, so you didn't want to take him and risk infecting the baby

this would allow wife/daughter to still go too.

Just don't go, kids are ill, Wife's ill, you're ill, I want to watch the tour, I don't agree with religon, whatever you want.

Christenings are the most pointless of ceremonies, unless of course, they're trying to get into a catholic school...

what DezB said.

Sis-in-law was having a christening and then drinkies in the evening at their house later.

She said I couldnt come to the drinkies unless I cam to the Christening.
"Have a good day, see you another time then" 😈

I HATE christenings and everything they stand for. If anyone really listened to the words of the service and rather than let them wash through them and considered them I think any rational person would agree.

Convert to Islam?

Alternatively, give the kids loads of coke so they make loads of noise and can't behave - they'll get ejected soon enough.

Could you mildly poison the boy?
Bit of left over pork should do it.

Or at a pre agreed sign, you could both just shit yourselves at the breakfast table?

Get somebody to hide behind the Alter with a microphone. As you enter get them to say in a dark, satanic voice "GET OUT!!!", Amityville Horror stylee.

Suggest that it may be best for all concerned if you leave

Just need to go to the toilet just before it is all about to begin and take your time.

"Sorry we didn't want to come in once the ceremony had begun and disturb the proceedings. So as not to be a nascence we quietly left…"

Hidden can of cold veg soup, a fake bout of vomiting and a couple of spoons should do it.

I'd go with the bottle of water idea, coupled with going dressed as a priest....should do the trick 🙂

I was going to suggest the old 'Russian Coleslaw in a paper bag, pretend to throw up into it' trick...
...Spoons are optional 😀

I find a few spoonfuls of Dave's Insanity sauce beforehand usually gets me thrown out without having to claim demonic possession.

turn up with popcorn and clap at inappropriate moments, scream "ohhh girl dont go there" when the dude in the dress goes to drown the baby and wander in just after its started, walk across the front of everyone and ask 'have i missed the adverts?'

Loudly, and in the appropriate accent:

'What's that skip? Someones trapped down the old mine shaft?'

normal voice

'Sorry, gotta go...'

Or at a pre agreed sign, you could both just shit yourselves at the breakfast table?

😆 😆

There is nobody Catholic enough in the family to be worthy of being a God parent. They are having to video link to Argentina for that bit.

I’ll piss myself if the OFSTED ratings drop at the school over the next 4 years.

Every christening I've ever been to has been a complete charade. Parents who never go to church, godparents who are confirmed atheists, and a priest/vicar laying it on thick about how everyone present has never been seen before in said church and how everyone should take it more seriously.

The final straw was when my brother, who doesn't go to church himself and knows I'm militantly atheist and anti-religion, asked me to be a godparent to my niece, and then had a go at me when I refused.

The vicar told me I couldn't be a godparent, merely a sponsor.
"Suits me, I'm not remotely religious"
These happy godmen can't half throw some dirty looks.

As the priest is handed the child shout "Don't you nonce up that kiddie!".

You've gone to the [s]Christening[/s] [b]Indoctrination[/b] (tick)
Most of the day will be yours to do with as you please (tick)

A win - win situation.

I just dont go to them personally...all the ones I have been invited to have involved deeply non religious parents.

Isn't there a bit where the congregation have to denounce evil or something, just reply in the negative.
I also refuse to go being the sort of person who doesn't believe in a supernatural deity who flounces about making everything. My sister trumped me though when we had a humanist naming ceremony for our little one in the back garden by buying her a bible.

You should have trumped her by simply burning it

Yep. And I made sure he knew it by laughing like a drain. I'd have been a good reliogionist, me.

Either be a man and tell people the truth and don't go. Or be a man and go out of responsibility/duty/whatever and stick it out to the end.

But whatever you do, don't go crawling out with some half-baked lie you got from STW unless you want everyone present to think you're a bit of a weasel.
