My friends are having a Halloween party on Saturday night, and I’m going to be recycling my rather morbid costume [Dead Ophelia] into something more suitable for my kids’ Halloween celebration on Tuesday at school [Medieval Princess], but I realized that even if I don’t wear the deathly-pale makeup and smeared eyeshadow with my class, there will be another indelible element to the costume that might be questioned…
Krissa: “How am I going to explain the mud-dragged skirt to my students? Do I just say princesses were dirty back then?”
Stuart: “Tell them you fell into the Gowanus on your way to school.”
Stuart: “Then casually brush a seal out of your hair.”
Man, I LOVE Halloween.

Judging by the responses so far I’d say it was a good job you married me, darling.
That and also that I’m not in comedy.
