[Prudence]

I used to dress up, run the office halloween party, make kitty litter cake, etc. Now it's basically like any other day, which is a pity, because it was my favorite holiday.

When I was a kid, my mom always made my costumes. Sometimes they were really cool, and sometimes they were a little weird.

For example, one year I was a wind sock. One of those rainbow ones. You're right, mom, there were no other kids dressed up like wind socks. Just me.

I've also been a Mousketeer, because one year our dance for the tap recital was to two Mousketeer songs, including the Talent Roundup. "We're the Mousketeers, we wanna say hello and give three cheers..." (I got to say my name during the talent roundup and everything!) We had white turtlenecks with M on the front and our names on the back. Red skirts. And red cowboy hats for the roundup. Made a great costume!
