Halloween
Zombie Dorothy

Scrubs
“My dad is a doctor, so our Halloween costumes were always scrubs. I did grow up to become a doctor, but I wear pants now. My sister also became a doctor, but one who takes breaths and doesn’t stand at attention like she is here. My brother didn’t become a doctor, and he doesn’t (normally) look like he just killed something and got blood all over himself. My dad looks like he’s midst rolling his eyes at our antics… that or seizing.”

Halloween Disharmony
“I had the classic store-bought costume, including a mask with eye holes that never lined up with your own. My brother was forced to don one of my mother’s ‘homemade’ costumes. His face says it all.”

Language Barrier
“My son was in 4th grade at the time and went to school with a nice boy whose mom is Japanese and dad is from Prague. I don’t think they realized his costume had multiple meanings.”

Dia De Muertos
“My wife and I painted each other’s faces. Apparently I took the challenge more seriously than she did.”

The “It” Factor
“I found these while going through old photo albums this weekend. Halloween 1979, I was a canvas for my older sister’s creativity. And clearly, I was thrilled about it. And yes, clowns freak me out 37 years later!”
