The other day the kids were discussing what they would like to be for Halloween. Since we have a lot of dress-up clothes, I was encouraging them to pick a costume that we already have. Staley decided that she would like to be a bumblebee since we have a bumblebee costume. Adelie settled on being a mermaid riding a seahorse since we have a mermaid costume and a seahorse.
Briggs: "I will be a little seahorse."
Me: "We don't have a little seahorse costume. We only have seahorses that you can ride. But you could be Buzz Lightyear or a construction worker or a fire fighter."
Briggs: "I will be a construction worker riding a seahorse."
Hmmmm...well, I guess those undersea construction workers have to ride on something.
