On Costumes

There are two kinds of children at Halloween: those who put all their effort into their costumes, making sure that every part of their costume is right, becoming the character; the other kind knows that all they have to do to get a bag of candy is to put on a wig, maybe with horns; they keep on their winter jackets to keep warm. The latter become successful businessmen, comfortable in life, the former become artists and teachers.

And there are two types of parents who help children with their costumes. The ones who go out and buy what's on the rack at Walmart and the ones who use their own imagination to create fantasies for their kids. Both types pass along their habits to the children... But we shouldn't generalize!...
