I am thinking I should give a warning about Halloween.
But first, The Pirate is going to be an archeologist. Not this one:
This one:
The Princess is going to be a gypsy.
Not this kind:
The other kind.
Except chaste.
(Is that a kind?)
And The Pixie...
uh...here is the warning.
Last year we read a series of books you might be familiar with if you're from Finland.
The Moomin books.
Delightful in a foreign Winnie the Pooh way.
And The Pixie fell in love with the Little My character.
This is what Wikipedia says about Little My:
Little My (Swedish: Lilla My - literally: "little mu" or Greek for "small") is a character in the Moomin (1950) series of books by Tove Jansson. She is a small, determined and fiercely independent Mymble.
When she wants something done, she does it straight away. She is very
aggressive, mischievous to a fault and totally disrespectful, but can be
a good friend when she wants to.
Maybe you can see why The Pixie fell in love with her.
There is more,
She knows how to ask difficult questions and give confident answers, but
Little My has an undeniable talent for encouraging others to be
independent and brave.
Yup.
Six months ago, guess what The Pixie declared she wanted to be for Halloween.
Yup.
She has not wavered.
So guess what she's gunna be.
Yup.
And for your infinite amusement I've included a classy link.
P.S. If you google, "gypsy costume authentic" you'll get batman. I'm not kidding.
