At what point do you realize you’ve become a parody of yourself?\u00a0 Well – your 16 year-old-self that is.\u00a0 When someone dresses like you for Halloween??\u00a0 Or maybe it’s less parody-of-yourself and more made-it-to-the-big-time?!<\/p>\n
My daughter is going to be an 80’s Girl for Halloween this year.\u00a0 I explained to her that we wore those neon mesh (fingerless)\u00a0gloves because they deflected bullets since we were secretly crime-fighting superheroes.<\/p>\n
One eye-roll and a drawn out “MooooOOOOOMMMMM!” later and the gig was up.\u00a0 No, not crime-fighters.\u00a0 Just wacky dressers.\u00a0 But that was the STYLE!<\/p>\n
And now it’s a Halloween costume.<\/p>\n
So this is\u00a0how all those witches and vampires feel.\u00a0 Or the grim reaper.\u00a0 (That’s who\u00a0my son is going to be this year.\u00a0 He mainly got the costume because of the sickle weapon thing.\u00a0 The label actually says “Child Scythe adds a finishing touch to any costume!”\u00a0 Why yes, yes it does.\u00a0 Finishing touch indeed!)<\/p>\n
This is all new to me, but those\u00a0witches and vampires and the grim reaper see mini-thems running around on\u00a0fright-night every year.\u00a0 Do they feel kindof\u00a0flattered?\u00a0\u00a0Kindof…but not really?!<\/p>\n
And how ’bout them stay at home moms?\u00a0 Or working mothers??\u00a0 Never have seen a kid dressed up on Halloween like one of them yet!\u00a0\u00a0Maybe we just need to give it another 30 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
