Halloween is coming, and I am in utter panic. My 9-year-old tells me that she wants to be a giant leaf this year. She also insists that the costume be homemade–not some store-bought thing. Much too common. “They’re more interesting when you make them,” she says.
Yes, I’ve always made her costumes. For the last two years, she was a chess piece (a rook, then a bishop); before that, she was an apple with the “Very Hungry Caterpillar” crawling on her shoulder.
Too bad for me that I’ve inculcated her with the silly idea that items made from scratch are superior. This extends to food (she also insists on homemade cupcakes). Truly, I have no one to blame for the pickle I’m in, except myself.
