Here’s my costume…
Halloween costume 2009
In case you can’t tell it’s a Prisoner’s costume. It’s the best i could do with the limited supplies in here dammit!
Anyways, quite appropriate i think considering i’m basically a prisoner in here. But on May 30, 2010 i’ll be free! (***Daddy’s note***: actually you’ll only be out on “parole”. If you misbehave or we decide you’re not a good fit for the family (i.e. ugly) then you’re going back in.)
As we all know, little kids are very naïve (read: dumb). So here are some tips to keep your kids safe on Halloween…
Before trick-or-treating:
- Help your kid pick an appropriate and safe costume with bright colors, large eyeholes with enough peripheral vision, fireproof and not too baggy to be a tripping hazard.
- Teach kids basic safety common sense. Don’t enter a stranger’s car/home, look both ways before crossing the street, etc.
- Plan your route ahead of time.
During trick-or-treating:
- Go during daylight hours.
- Adults should go with the kids.
- Preferably only visit houses that you know and trust. Even better is to go trick-or-treating at a mall.
After trick-or-treating:
- Parents should check candy before being eaten.
- Throw away all Good&Plenty, toothbrushes/dental floss, dirty pennies and Dots. Those are some of the WORST Halloween candy ever. Whoever hands these out should be put in jail.
Happy Halloween!
Message for daddy: You should tell everyone that your fetus flew away in a foil balloon and then when everyone freaks out you should say “Just kidding… we found our fetus inside mommy, it was hinding there all along… then go pitch a reality TV show. It’s genius!
Message for baby: then when you are interviewed you should just randomly throw up on cue so daddy doesn’t have to answer difficult questions.
