My Homemade Costume

My son keeps asking me if I'm dressing up tomorrow for halloween. I told him that I didn't have a costume. Then, I started thinking about it. When I was little, there weren't these elaborate storebought costumes. You either put together your own costume with stuff around the house, or you bought that horrible, cheap, plastic nastiness that they had the nerve to call a costume. It was like wearing a plastic tablecloth. Yuck.

Anyway, I thought that I probably had something around here that I could use. And then it came to me: I would wear what I wear almost every day, comb my hair one less time than usual, and go as a "sea hag". Yeah, I could do that easily. If they have a contest, I could win first prize.
