Contrary to what the CBCP is hoping for, Halloween is really all about letting kids be kids, and indulging their (and their parents’) overactive imagination by dressing them up in cool and/or terrifying costumes as they go trick or treating from house to house. Unless some heartless fiend decides to give away poisoned candies or worse (like raisins.), it’s a generally harmless celebration, and results in far less death and suicide than, oh, shortly after Christmas.
Is it just me, though, or do babies get the short end of the stick? Not only can most of them not eat candy yet, they also have next to no say what kind of costume they get to wear during Halloween. It’s always a hit or miss affair with these things, as you will see with…
8. The one that will kill you in your sleepSo cute! So creepy! You could almost bet that she’s hiding a knife behind one of those dolls.
7. The one that dooms a baby for the next ten years of his life.This kid will be too big to bully, though.
6. The one that needs a lot of years before you get the joke.She doesn’t even have to explain anything beyond “Frida.”
5. 2. The one that’s a bit eccentricAll he needs is a boy scout beside him to complete the package.
4. The one where the wild things are“Let the wild rumpus start!” (If you’ve never read the book, here’s “Christopher Walken” to read it to you.)
3. The one that gets a kid patted on the head by accident a million times.I just wanted some popcorn. Was that so hard to give?!?
2. Probably Tim Burton’s babyJust look at him! Is he named Johnny D. Burton, Jr.?
1. The ones that absolutely love whatever Lewis Caroll was smoking when he wrote Alice In Wonderland.It’s okay. Everyone’s just as confused about the book as you are.
How about you, responsible parent? Who are your kids dressing up as for Halloween? Let us know in the comments.
