Definitely A, Empress.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally support parental costumes! For a party one time when I was little, my mom was Peter Pan, my dad was Nana, and I was Tinkerbell. Fun!

Aimee, I can't think of anything requiring muscle control that should be done at 6:30 in the morning.

I love the whole-family-costume trick or treaters. We don't see many, sadly.
I am dressed in Navy surplus pants, a horizontally striped t-shirt, and a red beret. I am a French sailor. It's a very subtle costume, in that I think people just think I'm eccentric. Oh well. This afternoon, we'll have a witch (thank GOD we avoided princess, I'm not even going to worry about the whole Wicca=Good thing) and a puppy.
