“My mom spent hours sewing a Blue’s Clues costume for my 3-year-old nephew. When we got to the third house, though, he ripped the ears off his head, spiked them on the ground, and shouted, ‘I’M TOO OLD FOR THIS!'””One year I took my kid cousin (who was dressed as the ghost face guy from Scream) trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. I stood at the curb as he knocked on the door with a group of other kids. When he finished there, I put my hand on his shoulder to lead him to the next house … only it wasn’t him. It was another boy dressed in the same costume; he started screaming for his dad. I should’ve noticed he was shorter than my cousin. It took a good few minutes for my cousin to convince everyone he knew me, and I wasn’t actually a pedophile.î”I spent 45 minutes wrapping my kid in the old sheets that I had spent a couple hours shredding into strips and tying together for her mummy costume, and, after two houses, she said, ‘I don’t feel like doing this right now!í”
