There’s been a lot of talk about Halloween costumes at our house lately. The latest is that Callen wants to be an astronaut and Jack is hovering between Jack Sparrow and constantly changing Star Wars characters. I fell asleep early tonight so now it’s 3 o'clock in the morning and all I can think about is funny Halloween costumes for kids. Well, funny for me at least. My first idea is for Callen to be Al Pacino’s character from Scarface, complete with a dark haired wig, cigar, open collared shirt, and gold chain around his neck. I would draw the line at the machine gun…we’ve made a decision to be a weapon-free family. I could teach Callen to say “You wanna f*** with me? Okay. You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!” (I guess I would let him pretend he has a machine gun, it’s only fair).
My next idea is for Callen to be Hannibal Lecter. I would go all out with this one and would put him in this costume since it really is the most recognizable.
I guess I'd have to attach his trick-or treat bag to the hand cart and just wheel him around the neighborhood. It may be kind of tiring for me but it would make it very easy to keep track of him.
I haven’t thought of any good costumes for Jack yet. He’s 6 so the humor of seeing him in costumes like these is kind of lost on him and becomes a bit creepy. Almost like when I hear kids his age talk about how many people they’ve killed in their video games. Callen, on the other hand, is a preschooler so his innocence is what would make these costumes both inappropriate AND funny, like when Jack farts at the library.
