Kids are so much fun. But some holidays we want to skip the stuff we don't like and just make happy family memories. We don't celebrate Halloween with witches, vampires, or the undead [gee, aren't the living nightmare enough sometimes?] No evil costumes/movies/toys/books/or-eye-rolling-over-banned-items are allowed in Doehill.
Our church has a trunk and treat where the children are allowed to dress up [NO EVIL STUFF THERE EITHER!]. DS wants to be a cowboy again. Thankfully he enjoys role playing and one day I'm going to get him some of those neat costumes from Vision Forum. But dear daughter has her own ideas....
DD: Mom? Know what I want to dress up as for Trunk and Treat?
MOM [trying to give guesses that might help her make an appropriate choice]: Raggedy Ann?
DD: No.
MOM: A Princess?
DD: No.
MOM: How about a lamb?
DD: Nah, I'm gonna be a scary ice skater.
Where oh where did I go wrong? |
