This year, the kids are saluting the
Addams family. Josh had thought of being Bernie Sanders; He could
put powder in this hair and wear a Bernie t-shirt Janet had saved.
He made a sign to put on his back that said, “I wrote the damn
bill!” He even offered to change it to “d**n bill”, but I said
some people might be offended and anyway, we didn't want anyone to
think we were Socialists. Josh said that we shouldn't care what
people think, especially if it isn't true. Cilla added that some
Socialists were probably nice people and had kids “just like us.”
I finally said we could go to the
costume store and get anything they wanted, as long as it wasn't the
sexy version. So we went to the Halloween Holiday Ghostly
“Boo-tique,” in an old Blockbuster building, where a very nice
millennial vampire helped us “create a howling good Halloween.”
Cilla decided to be Morticia because
the costume was pretty and Betsey picked Wednesday because she was a
“badas . . .girl.” Josh will be Cousin Itt, who isn't that far
from Senator Sanders. Our sales vampire asked if I wanted to be
Grandmama, but I never dress up, much to the relief of Ed and the
kids, although I do have a pair of cat ears, and if I feel very
daring I draw whiskers on my face.
