Okay Here Are My Questions:
- Did the child actually say the words, “This Halloween I want to be a mummy?”
- Did s/he specify a mummy that looks like it has been laundered in pure Flourescent Whitening Agent?
- Did the parents send the child out trick-or-treating barefoot as well, for accuracy, because s/he should know that mummies did not get to wear nice sneakers like we have nowadays?
- And if accuracy was their concern, where can I find the Egyptian wall painting that depicts the dressing of the dead in a happy little hula skirt?
- Not to mention the cowl which appears to conceal a young Conehead?
- Most importantly: Did the parents consider that dressing up their child as an animated corpse that crawled out of its tomb so that by the light of the full moon it might seek victims to strangle with its moldering claws, while certainly in the spirit of the season, is tempting fate a bit?
Finally:- Isn’t s/he precious?
UPDATE: Upon further examination, I can see that this costume might be that of a ghost, but the dangling strips of white material and bound legs, combined with the lack of any reference to the traditional sheet-with-two-eyeholes, makes it a pretty confusing design concept. And like dressing junior up as a wayward soul doomed for eternity to haunt a raven-infested wilderness is any better.
