Crazy Cat Lady
1. Put on pajamas and mess up your hair.
2. Smear your lipstick.
3. Carry cat food.
4. Find a cat stuffed animal and pet it relentlessly.
1. Put on a flannel shirt, jeans, boots, and winter cap.
2. Make a mustache and ax from construction paper.
3. Every time you pass a tree, mime cutting it down.
Extra credit: Tape horns on a stuffed animal and call it Babe.
Brawny Man

Little White Lies

2. Stick them on outfit.
Cereal Killer
