Ya know, I thought I was finally done with all this Halloween stuff.... But NOOOOOOO.
Both my boys wanted costumes this year. My 11-year old wanted this "Big Daddy" costume - purple, shiny pants and top, pimpish looking hat with a feather in it, gold chain with a huge glittery $ sign hanging from it, and big ring with $ sign on it. "I wanna be a pimp", he said.
My 14-year-old couldn't find a particular mask he wanted, then spotted a penis costume. (You believe this??) I said, "Absolutely NOT!"
I give up.
I'm tellin' ya.......television is the root of all evil.

PS At the costume store there was a mask that looked exactly like the aged Barnabas -- even the wisps of hair on top. I didn't see it close up, but it looked like it had fangs. I swear it really looked like him at age 175. If it wasn't so expensive I would have bought it!
