We received this post from The Wetzel Chronicle and had to post it!
My mom was the queen of Halloween costumes. She took great pride in creating just the perfect, unique get-up for her kids. Even when I was just four months old she dressed me as Humpty Dumpty and put me on her shoulder. Of course she was dressed as a wall.
One day I came home from school and she was pulling a papier mache Snoopy head out of the oven. I thought she had lost it, but she was proud of her creation.
I was a bit concerned. That Snoopy head wasn’t perfectly smooth like the masks in the boxed costumes at Big Wheel or Murphy’s Mart. Those were the costumes I always wanted, but she knew she could do better than a plastic coverall and a thin mask attached with an elastic string.
I don’t know that the same holds true, but I think she taught me right because I made Joellen’s costume this year.
When I asked her what she wanted to be, she said “Wow Wow!” In two-year-old speak that is Wow Wow Wubbzy, a rather new cartoon that is all the rage with the pre-school set these days.
I decided that was possible and started making plans (after I found out such a costume could not be Googled).
My husband and sister were afraid for Joellen’s pride, but at Saturday’s costume parade at the Chili-Fest, she wore her costume with pride and walked down the middle of Main Street saying in amazement, “I’m Wow Wow! I’m Wow Wow!”
What an amazing Wubbzy costume! Great work and Great story! -Angie
