  • The shopping/dressing part, imho, is whatever, maybe even cute.
    Kids being wary of parental embarrassment is as old as time.

    That last message though is really the big one: how to behave and what to say.

    Disclaimer: I know nothing about your daughter, the following isn’t meant as advice.

    On one hand, she wants you to be part of this.
    On the other hand, it seems like covering up who you are is (mostly?) to cover up who poeple there might think she is?
    It’s like she’s worried that people there will think she doesn’t belong if it is made evident that you don’t. I think she’s worried about not fitting in herself and you bringing attention to that fact.
    Asking you to play a role is kinda wack… but then it may be that she’s been thinking all this time that she has to be playing the part too. Idk if cute or sad or both. Impostor syndrome in a relationship maybe, idk.

    Honey, just hire actors at this point.

    Me? I’d go all in.
    Full-on wizard staff and pipe, or the old monopoly monocle look.
    If I’m about to dress up and play a role, I might as well play as someone from the wait staff or go all out medieval bourgeois and convince people I’m a noble from a far off land that no one there has heard about, like Earl of Canada.

    Sorry we’re late, customs was being picky about sword lengths and I had to leave another trebuchet to one of them meddlesome varlets.
    A den of savages.
    We couldn’t find the stables, my dear, if you’d be so kind as to have one of your footmen help the stable boy.
