Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween everyone! As I type I am sitting on a cold pub bench ‘minding’ Girl Lacer, although of course it’s pitch black and I haven’t got a clue where she is, other than she’s off having fun somewhere with the crowd of instant friends she always manages to generate. Thank god for secure pub gardens.
We’re at a Halloween party, Mr. Lacer and Boy Lacer were also here, but it was way out of Boy Lacer’s comfort zone. He was mollified for a while with a painting app on my iPhone, but after he’d exhausted that he wanted to go home.
Still, it’s quite a cool party, bouncy castle, lasers, artificial smoke, fire eater, ‘haunted forest’, like a 6 year old I’m easily pleased. And Girl Lacer has been keeping me company a little,
Girl Lacer: I want a drink
Me: You’ll have to come into the pub with me
Girl Lacer: Ok, I like sitting on bar stools
Me: Hmmm
She managed to loose her friend after being given a scyth and a demonic stick to look after whilst he went to the toilet. She then spent ages looking for him and we had a good girl to girl conversation about how all boys look the same (specially when they all wear skeleton costumes and it’s um dark). Luckily, after lots of staring at a particular boy, me going “I think that’s him”, Girl Lacer going “Hmm, it might be”, she did manage to return the scyth and the demonic stick, just as the boy in question was about to go home. She’s now in the Forbidden Forest, complete with ankle breaking holes and spooky purple smoke.
So, on a final note on costumes, me and Girl Lacer weren’t exactly original either, we were witches, Mr. Lacer was the Fonz (yeah right) but the prize of originality actually goes to Boy Lacer, ‘witch bunny’, something Mr. Lacer thought infinitely preferable to his original choice, ‘princess’, even though me and Girl Lacer thought there was nothing wrong with him dressing as a princess, as Girl Lacer put it “I can dress as Ben 10 who’s a boy and I’m a girl so why can’t he dress as a princess?”, absolutely right!
Anyway, the costume is below, it’s an old ballet costume of Girl Lacer’s.
