Mo-ther: Stewey, have you decided what you would like to be for Halloween?
Stewey: Yes, I want to be Super Girl.
Mo-ther: Super Girl? Why not something fun like a zombie or a ghost or a vampire? (She frantically tries to remember what other costumes are stashed away in the carefully labeled bin in the guest room closet). Oh! I know! How about a lady bug! You always wanted to be a lady bug!
Stewey: Lady bugs are sooooo 2012, Mo-ther. I want to be Super Girl.
Mo-ther carefully ponders just what will be involved in assembling a Super Girl outfit, and whether or not her limited skills will result in a successful outcome, or an unfortunate mess that will cause yet another epic tantrum.
Mo-ther: OK. Super Girl it is, but on one condition. Under no circumstances are you to wear your wiglet.
Stewey: The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize, Mo-ther. Now pass me my tights and cape.
Thanks for the smile, Coni!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha! Stewey was such a cutie. I have a black/tan doxie and she will wear a hot dog costume.
