Hivemind opinion...
Parents who dress up with their kids to take them trick or treating.
A) Fun parent! Way to get into the holiday!
B) Sad parent! Way to try to steal the kids thunder.
C) Whatever.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.
'Time Bomb'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Happy Buffista House Day!
Bay Area people, remain calm. Earth, stay still!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Parents who dress up with their kids to take them trick or treating.
When I went to SF lo these many years ago for Halloween, some of us went out trick-or-treating with Emmett, and the parental costume I remember the most was these 2 men dressed in black outfits that were similar to the outfits that male figure skaters often wear (sequin trim down the outer leg, etc.). Their costumes weren't too noteworthy until we saw one of them pick up a toddler who was wearing a white-tiger cub outfit.
They were Sigfried and Roy.
(And, for the record, I vote A.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Definitely A, Empress.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Always A, unless the parent has spent hundreds on their costume and the toddler gets a stained old sheet.
You get extra parental points if your costume complements the kid's.
And Hippo Birdies to Daniel!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A for sure.
He fills out the I heart NY outfit that he was swimming in two months ago.
Aw, NY hearts him right back!
I had to box up so many of D's newborn clothes unworn because I put them on once, they were too big, and by the time I got around to trying them again they were too small. Babies grow fast, yo.

You forgot D: Parents who dress up because they want their own candy stash. I get a couple of those every year.
I never went trick or treating with my parents. It was with my older siblings until I was about 6, and then my friends from the neighborhood and I went on our own.

Good. Then I'm totally dressing up.
Em is going as Sleeping Beauty and I made a Maleficent costume for me.
Although, in the future, I should not hem a dress at 6:30 in the morning. The front of her dress is longer than the back.
