A father has demanded an apology from police after he was arrested and locked in a cell overnight for smacking his sonâ€™s leg. Mark Frearson said he told off his son Harry because the seven-year-old walked off alone after dark

Oh, the question-marked no. How prevalently and sadly it has infiltrated my household.

The genius who designed my kid’s ladybug costume didn’t include any means to attach the hat. Yeah, she was out of that thing within nanoseconds.

It’s all part of the love and hate phases. The love/hate hat phase, the love/hate car seat phase…All this love and hate is so exhausting that I have blocked it out and canâ€™t keep up to date anymore. It’s like living with a drunken drama queen with a very high squeaky voice. Or my old college roomate.

My mom, being creative and handy as hell with a sewing machine, made our outfits. My favorite one was a fairy princess. She came up with a leotard and a tutu, and made a tiara and a magic wand out of cardboard and aluminum foil. Then she wisely took a picture BEFORE we headed out the door.

There was also a year, maybe even before the tin foil princess, when a pillowcase was sacrificed so I could go as a ghost. And another time I was a hobo, with the help of Mom’s application of makeup for a beard stubble since, being a tiny girl kid, I was unable to produce that part of the costume myself.

I do remember that I always hated the plastic masks that came with “store-bought” costumes, with slits for eyes and for you to breathe through, and an elastic band to hold them on. They get steamy with your breath in there and just… yuck.

Ahhh, takes me back to the good ole days. My daughter was all of four months old on her first Halloween, and I had the brilliant idea to dress her up as a bunch of grapes. She wore a dark purple long-sleeved onesie with itty bitty purple tights. I pinned little purple balloons all over her and attempted to keep a viny green beret on her head. I couldn’t understand why she was screaming as we strolled the neighborhood.

Things got much easier once she realized there was sugar involved.

So. Good luck with that.

I’m with Melissa – there is no way a kid is going to put on a damn costume if he doesn’t like the idea – particularly not one that involves hoods. And once he’s done it once, you can expect the same next year. Eventually he’ll twig to the costume=candy thing, but until then you might as well shovel water uphill. Equally frustrating, but lots less shriek-y.
