The most creative things my parents ever did in my eyes was to cross-dress on Halloween. What a couple they made!

There’s my dad, a quiet man, who agreed to put on make-up, wear a wig, don a skirt, and stuff himself to make quite an impressive bosom. And my lovely mother, who put on flannel, pulled back her long hair with my dad's hunting cap, attached hair to her chin and chest, and penciled on a somewhat manly little mustache.

This was funny, funny stuff to a kid. Here we have very cheap costumes, which is appreciated by the adults, of course, in saving money. But what is very appreciative to kids is the parents going all out like Mom and Dad did that year. And can I just say that I adore that look on my dad's face!
