Best curling festival

We are getting ready in the office to send Jeppe off to the festival next week. But there was so much trouble last year, when the standard for all the curling children was not completely under control. So here's a helping hand for Jeppe's mother - and all other mothers who send their sons to a festival for the first time.

Ensure your child's survival

Here comes 7 hacks to give your child the best curling experience at summer festivals.

1. Help your child to better scores.
2. Exclude troublemakers from your child's tent.  
3. Ensure clean laundry. 
4. Make it easy for your child to pick up after himself.
5. Make magnetic name tags for your child's things.
6. Make a magnetic sign: "If I get too drunk, call my mom".
7. Make sure your child ALWAYS has soft toilet paper to hand.
   
   

How to curl at the festival

1. Better scores

Nothing is good enough for your son - but you also need breaks once in a while. So make sure he can find a girl who BOTH meets your requirements and appeals to your son (in order of priority, of course). After all, he is far away from home, and it is not always that there is mobile coverage, so you can be on Facetime to approve the girls. But luckily there is a way for that. All you have to do is line up with your son when he goes into the festival, and then you walk around and put a gummimagnet in the pocket of all the cute girls. Finally, you put a magnet in your son's pocket, and then he is ready to score the APPROVED girls who you think have the best potential as future daughters-in-law. Then it might not be long before you can get the title of both mother-in-law and grandmother. It is important that you use rubber magnets, because they can withstand the blows and do not break in the event of a hard impact. His nice clothes shouldn't be ruined by broken magnets.

 

2. Ban troublemakers

There are always troublemakers at festivals - types you don't want your son around. But now you can at least make sure they don't get into your son's tent. Simply sew some strong magnets into the tent opening. Then you can either come by yourself in the morning and evening to make sure that the tent is closed properly and that your treasure bass is safe in the tent. Or you can give instructions to a reliable, volunteer adult on the festival grounds who will let your son in and out. We can here recommend our sew-in magnets 18x2 mm., which you sew in at the opening of the tent on the outside of the tent, so that your son cannot open the tent himself . 

 

3. Clean laundry

Do you feel sick at the thought of not being able to wash your child's clothes for a whole week? Bring in freshly washed laundry and ironed shirts a few times during the week - you can easily throw a bag over the fence for the festival. And then give your son a pair of magnetic hooks, which he can attach to a tent pole: then the clothes can hang nicely on hangers in the tent, and then the smell of detergent inside the tent is almost like at home. 

 

4. Easy cleaning

Usually you are there to run around and pick up after your child when he drops the keys or beer cans. But when he's at a festival, you have to make sure he doesn't have to put in too much effort to figure out how to pick up after himself. Make a magnetic collector with a strong ring magnet, a plastic bottle and a string. After all, you have to give him a bottle of water in his bag to make sure he doesn't dehydrate, and then he can appropriately reuse the bottle, so the girls have no doubt that he has his green profile under control.

 

5. Name tags on everything

It is important that your child gets all his things back home, and you are not there to take care of packing for him once the festival starts. But not all things are practical to write on or sew marks in. Instead, make some magnetic name tags for all his things with his name, address and phone number in them. Then you are sure that any forgotten items can be returned home , without your son having to exert himself too much.

 

6. Get a drunk call

We know you want to be there for your son if some of his friends trick him into getting drunk. Make sure you can talk him through his brandert: put a sign on the back of his blouse with your phone number and a message to call you. Use these running magnets so you don't ruin his clothes with holes from safety pins for him to stick himself in (God forbid!).

7. 4-ply toilet paper at hand

Your child must of course have the good 4-ply toilet paper from Lambi with them. It does not work with the cheap 1-ply toilet paper, which has a real sandpaper feel OR the risk that there is no toilet paper at all. No one will like that, at all. And especially not your own child! After all, he is used to a certain standard from home. You must therefore put a magnet in his trouser pocket (same kind of magnet with which he has to score the pretty girls) and give him an extra magnet to put on the outside of the bag of toilet paper.. TADAA! Then it is easy to dry yourself in a soft and good way. 

 

For the curling kid

Fix your mom with a 130 kg. magnet on the fridge - and only take her down when the festival is over.
