Robot fan

While all the helicopter parents were bemoaning the fact that it took our township so long to decide to postpone the wearing of costumes and knocking on doors, we had one very excited robot and two parents willing to brave the rain and wind to walk around the neighborhood talking to neighbors.

Were they all planning to dress their kids up as Dorothy and they were afraid the kids were going to melt if they got wet? Maybe they don't understand the difference between fantasy and reality?

Whatever. When I was little we went out no matter the weather. And we survived. And of course we had to walk up hill both ways in the snow and we still survived!

So we braved the wind and rain for our little robot.

The pants didn't last (too big!) and his father got him to the first home only to realize that the child had no shoes (all the helicopter parents are tsk tsking us big time now!). Oh well. He had fun.

He helped make his costume and afterward declared it well done. Yes, little man, you did a great job.
