We've all got them, either about ourselves or about our kids, or someone we know...so BRING IT!
Alex:
He was Darth Maul. Remember him? Double edged light saber (or light saver as I always used to call them) It was a standard costume...robe, weapon, and the plastic mask that only cover the front of your face with the piece of rubber band like stuff that goes around the back of your head. Two eye-holes and a little slit for the mouth. You're with me, right? So Kevin, being Kevin, as we're taking pictures, keeps telling Alex to smile. Which of course we can't see. Finally Alex has had enough "I AM smiling!!" he yells back. And can't understand why we're laughing our asses off.
Owen:
Same year. He was Barney. Adorable. Walking around Chesterton trick-or-treating, not really getting it because he's only 2 1/2. We're at one of the last houses. The lady opens the door and exclaims..."Look, it's Barney!" And Owen turns around looks behind him and says "WHERE???" He was so excited because he thought Barney was there!! He never realized she was talking about HIM. I thought Kevin was going to pee himself.
What are your best costumes? Your worst? Best you've seen? Speak, freaks!

When my daughter was around four, I dressed her up as a clown - complete with a full face of clown makeup. I made a small mistake, however. When I put on the makeup, we weren't in a spot where she could watch herself being transformed.
Once the makeup was done, the hat and clothes on, she went to see herself in the hall mirror and . . . screamed! Seeing that strange face in the mirror scared (and scarred) her so badly, that to this day, she still hates clowns.
