Halloween Costumes

I promised ya'll a tale about the days of my life that are October 31st. Welll, there was the year I was Princess Jasmine, my mom made the costume, and my sister did my make-up, I think I was seven at the time, and my little sister, let's call her Finger Sucker in order to keep her identity anonymous, also chose the same costume. She's always been a fan of the princess attire on Halloween. So, this is my story and I''ll continue on. Another Halloween, I was a painter, an artist. I wore this huge Hawaiian shirt that had birds on it, and a beret. My mom cut out a piece of cardboard that looked like a palet, and then we put paint on for different colors. I have pictures at home, so it's too bad that no one here has access to them. Then there was the famous family pumpkin costume. I think several of my siblings besides myself have worn it. It was a puffy homemade orange thing, with a vine cap for your head. I think that one lasted a couple of years for me. Then there was the year of the fish. So, I like fish. Not the eating kind, the pet kind. That year, my mom had this blue flannel or some material like unto it, which was the ocean waves, so I decorated it with glitter and stuff, and then the fish itself. It was a hat! She got some gray stiff plasticy material, and then we made it into a fish that fit on my head. Ah the memories. The moral of this story is, my mom pretty much made my costumes, and I was brave enough to wear them, so, how I looked was all my fault. One day, perhaps you will see my picture posted wearing various costumes, and you will be able to laugh your head off at me. Today however, is not the day.
Peace Out!
(I hate it when people say that)
