It’s the night before Halloween. I was just finishing up Jett’s scary vision: black blob covered in vines and leaves ala ghillie suit. He calls it the Leaf Slasher. Very Scooby-doo. Only one problem, he’s possibly allergic to the ivy. Who knew you could be? Apparently not me. I mean I know it’s ivy, but it’s not like it’s poison ivy.
So he tries it on so we could put on the last finishing touches. Scratch, scratch. I’m kind of itchy, mom. Scratch, scratch. Hmmm. Jump on handy dandy internet, google ivy, find contact allergy. Yep. Sigh. Four hours down the drain.
Backup costume: Tony Hawk, Skateboarder; or Ninja Boy. Ninja Boy wins ‘cuz I won’t let him ride the skateboard to trick or treat. Happy Halloween!
