My 10 year old was browsing through one of the Halloween costume catalogs that came in the mail. He's been walking around with it in his clutch like he does every Sept/Oct as he changes his mind every other day.
His original suggestion was this
Now he's back to the catalog, intently leafing through and asks if he can be a banana. A banana? A somewhat odd choice but certainly an improvement over Penny Wise up there. He tells us he has seen other bananas on Halloween and he really thinks this banana has a funny face. Before the big reveal I really want you to know he has NO IDEA that there is anything odd about this banana costume. The name of this costume is the Nasty Banana.......... so without further ado, I give you, the Nasty Banana
I wish you could have seen my husband's face when he showed him. Again, an emphatic NO. My son goes to our local catholic school and on Halloween they have a big parade in the front. To make matters worse, because he is in 4th grade and an "older" kid, he will have a little kindergartner in tow as his buddy in the parade. The thought of Nasty Banana parading around school escorting a little one sent me into a fit of laughter at least 3 or 4 times yesterday.
So it's back to the drawing board - can't we go back to simpler times when being Santa and Ronald McDonald were "cool"?
