If I had to choose a favorite Holiday, I guess I would choose Halloween. I have fond memories of my father risking our lives to brave snow storms to get to grandma's house for trick-or-treating. My mother used to dress my sister and I in costumes made by hand. One year I was a mouse and my sister was Woody Woodpecker's Girlfriend; oddly specific. Now that I think about it; we always had these oddly specific costumes and I've never stopped picking out those costumes that are common, but completely unique. It's the stupid kind of specific, not unlike Woody Woodpecker's Girlfriend, that keeps me thinking of the very best costume. Inevitably, though, I end up not wearing a costume or wearing the same costume year after year.
This year I was invited to a fancy dress party. I was told that a crazy clown and the characters from Clue would be dressed for the occasion, and so the search for the perfect costume began. Honestly, I didn't have any idea until a couple hours before I had to leave for this party. I was really struggling to decide. Should I wear the last two years costume or pin something to my shirt. No one would guess my costume because I wouldn't even know!! Well, that would be silly. So, after a short nap I realized I had to make my costume! After a few minutes of searching through my clothes, I found that I had a number of items in green. I searched the internet for green costumes and found various sexy Green Giants and girly Link look-a-likes before settling on Peter Pan! (and not just any Peter Pan, but one of the very first female Pans, Mary Martin. Oddly specific.)
I even had a Shadow!
...and I tried to fly a little, but I got scared.
