Behind The Awkwardness: Tossed
October 20th, 2011
“This is a picture of my younger sister – she was determined to win the elementary school Halloween Costume Contest that year. My mother came up with the brilliant idea to turn her into a salad for Halloween. Her hands were a fork and a spoon and her feet were also tomatoes to match her head. Of course, that year they decided to forgo the Halloween Costume Contest and she was just plain miserable all night, next to her friends that were dressed as princesses and ballerinas.”

Well…I bet no one else had the same costume!
Well she might not have won that night…..but we give her a WIN here!
Lada Gaga will do this next week
Geez. That’s not fair. Hope she realizes now she is better for it. Way to be daring!
Lady Gaga in her vegan days.
How do people think up clever stuff like that?
I had nothin’.
I said that as the wife was looking at the picture. Now we need a new monitor. Never saw hot coffee shooting out of a nose like that.
Aaaahahaha!!! Yes!!!!
“You don’t win friends with salad.”
FTW!!!
I am so impressed with the creativity of it all that the awkwardness hardly bothers me. You just don’t see homemade costumes like this much anymore… Well done mom!
Lettuce be glad her dressing as a salad provided this pic!
Amen.
What a shame ! The costume is so neat. Guess it’s a part of life- disappointment. Hope she went on to win the next year.
Poor kid!! Thats not fair!! Homemade costumes are the best!!
This backstory is awesome!
