Trying to find a costume for a three-year-old, there were plenty of tarty choices to be had-that's right, for three year olds!!! Besides, it's cold this time of year, even in the southeast here, so cover up!Rivkahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07595316806953091704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-10807672693606215632007-10-31T12:37:09.835-04:002007-10-31T12:37:09.835-04:00Thank you for putting your finger on yet another reason why this 'holiday' frustrates me.will smamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06632209393133155385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692816.post-73907062793963523882007-10-31T09:18:04.263-04:002007-10-31T09:18:04.263-04:00The tarted-up costumes for little girls drive me Around the Bend. <BR/><BR/>I consented to Sleeping Beauty tonight, partly because I know that next year she'll be on to other things.

She will not love you for who you are, but for how you look on her arm."<BR/><BR/>Now when he sees girls dressed like that he says, "I'm never going to date someone who looks like that". And I smile.
