In college, I went all out for Halloween. Okay, well not all out, but one time I went as a juice box which was insane. A different year I went as Juno which was freaking hilarious. Pictures? Okay, if you insist.
I loved Halloween in college because you could replace cool costumes with clever costumes, and everybody understood. You could also replace cool costumes with sexy costumes, but when it comes to choosing between sex and humor, humor wins every time. (Can all the guys with 'Dad Bods' give me an Amen?).
Clever costumes are also fair game for parties with the post college set until you have kids. Then you need to start dressing your kids up, and somehow everyone thinks kids need to wear Superhero and Princess costumes. Not so, kids can wear clever costumes too!
Still if you're anything like me, you're having trouble reconciling Halloween past with Halloween present. I like to think the dissonance is due to my cleverness, but really the problem is that I am both cheap and lazy. I want to take my son trick or treating, but I do not want to purchase a Spiderman costume or much of anything, so I've come up with this Halloween Guide for cheap and lazy parents. I'm sure this will help all of you.
