Since children have 8 halloweens these days I needed to find another costume for Betty. She is going to be a butterfly this weekend and refused to wear any of her princess outfits because "those are dress up clothes. not costumes." So we headed down to Poppy's to go through her costume basket. And what did our little eyes spy? This little floral number circa 1988. And, of course, my little girlie girl was set on it from second one. I pleaded.
Me: What are you going to be in that dress?
Betty: A flower princess.
Me: You have 18 princess dresses at home.
Mom: Not floral ones...
Betty: I'm going to be a floral princess.
Me: No. No you're not. You're going to be a Menonite.
Mom: Bun, white socks, white tennis shoes. Perfect.
Me: Perfect. Menonite it is.
