Debra called me tonight. She’s a friend of my mictother-in-law. She’s a wealthy woman, pushy and competitive and kind of phony, but she also has custody of her little granddaughter and the granddaughter and my daughter are friends, so I put up with her.

She was calling to tell me that her granddaughter, Faith, wants to be the same thing for Halloween that my daughter (Little C) has been planning on being for months now. Debra wants to know if I’m making the costume, or where I’m getting it, and do I have any advice about this situation. You should also know that we invited Faith to go trick-or-treating with us again this year because she doesn’t really have any friends to go with in her neighborhood. Got all that?

Now Little C’s costume (she’s going as a character from Avatar) involves vintage clothes that we just lucked into and a kimono that I ordered from work and some props that we’ll be making. We love Halloween around here, and we always try to have a unique costume. So I was a little disappointed that Faith was copying C’s costume idea.
