Trick or Treat, Yo

I'm aware that the time of my child's life when I am allowed to have some input into his Halloween costume is drawing to a close, but I still try.

Me: Hey, wouldn't Shaun of the Dead be a super cool costume?

My Kid: Um... no, I want to be a rapper.

Me: *exaggerated eye-roll because, let's face it, while he may have a collection of Nike Basketball shoes that would rival Jay-Z, and be able to recite Lil' Wayne's entire body of work, he's still just a skinny white kid with insanely long eyelashes* Maybe we could put a little something extra into it - what about a Zombie Rapper?

My Kid: Yeah, I guess
