A kids catalogue with pages of Halloween costumes came today, and Violet was very excited.
"What that guy?" she asked, pointing at a ladybug costume. "Oh! A bug!" she answers himself. A caterpillar costume is "a bug, NOT a caterpoozle!" A cowboy costume was "ee hah! ee hah!" She was most enchanted by the Elmo costume "Elmo, Elmo, I love Elmo!" she ranted, looking like one of those girls screaming at the early Beatles concerts. She also loved the dragon costume, and was confused by my explanation of the devil costume.
"Why costume?" she wondered.
I explained "It's a holiday in October when kids wear costumes and walk around at night. And you get candy for wearing your costume!"
"Candy! I want BIG candy. That sounds like fun! I wear costume on Halloween!"
I can't even say how much that means to me, to hear that. How is it that everything I love is so much bigger and brighter and better with Violet to share it with?
