Mymy, featured here in a whimsical ghost costume, was really prepared to make a splash in the elementary school Halloween parade. But it seemed like every polyester clad superhero was bent on taking the wind out of his etheral gowns. "What are you supposed to be?" "You don't really look like a ghost." "What is that white thing on your head for?" And this, (from a flourescent nylon clad witch) "There are no such things as ghosts." Well guess what Walmart Witch? There are no such things as witches either. Except I didn't say that. I just leaned over, the voice of perfect reason, and softly whispered into Mymy's ear, "Some kids are so stupid they don't even know a good costume when they see one." (Yeah, that's what I came up with.) Upon which Dayglo Wig Witch exclaimed for all to hear, "Milo, why did your mom say KIDS ARE STUPID?"
Me(for all to hear)- Oh, I didn't say that.
Dayglo Wig Witch- Yes you did.
Me- No I didn't.
DWW- Yes you did.
Me- No I didn't.
DWW- Yes you did.
And then Cartoon Inspired Perfectly Spooky Indomitable Spirit Ghost said "No. She didn't."
And that shut her right up.
Then he turned around to Robin, The Boy Wonder, and said,"I hope there are no Ghostbusters here today cuz I'd sure be in trouble!"
I'm lovin' your writing...it's so perfectly you!
ReplyDeletethat mother-son moment nearly brought a tear to my eye. for realsies. i love that mymy.
ReplyDeleteHis costume is sooooooooooo great!! brody was a ghost last year and i didn't even think of tulle, and his hat is so great!! those stripped socks are a great touch!! and i agree! i'm sick of store bought costumes, the home made ones are way way cuter!! and a lot more fun!!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me love Milo. Clearly someone is raising him right! Keep blogging... I always know where I can come when I need a little pick-me-up!
