Kids elementary school's policy this year is non-violence. No masks, no weapons. What fun Ideas for the boy and girl? Ghandi, Buddhist Monk, Mother Teresa ?
Could be worse. My kids school (and most others around here) don't allow costumes. It's "black and orange" day.
A sound policy from a truly courageous school board! Without proper leadership, your children are at high risk of actually becoming reptilian mutant martial arts practitioners. Not to mention that whole living in the sewer with a rat thing. Thank God someone is making up for your poor parenting skills. It takes a village!
Was going to say snowflakes. My girls came up with birkas and a waist belt of fake tnt hidden under. A small opening for viewing when appropriate.
Hell, it is the holiday of death, hedonism, and destruction. At its very core is the threat of violence. But unicorns.
Be sure they don't have the same costume. Apparently looking like everyone else means you are a serial killer....
Sorry, but of your kid is predetermined to be an ax murderer, outlawing plastic swords and Freddy masks ain't gonna curb that.
I really like the snowflake. Just make sure your kid knows a few great, passive aggressive, answers to give about her/his costume. Ex: What are you Jane? I'm a snowflake, my tears represent melting under Trump's administration.
