We've been talking Halloween at our house... and Kirstin has a very specific outfit in mind (though not what you'd probably expect!):
Mommy: What do you want to be for Halloween this year?
[pause for the expected answer of 'a princess', more specifically, likely to be Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)]
Kirstin: a kitty!
[pause for surprise and recovery - I can handle a kitty costume, what do I need other than ears and tail and makeup for whiskers?]
Mommy: a kitty - that will be fun! what color kitty? a black kitty, or an orange kitty maybe?
Kirstin: no, a colorful kitty.
Mommy: [still not getting it] oh, like a striped kitty or an orange and white tabby cat kitty?
Kirstin: no, a rainbow kitty.
[pause for determination on whether to laugh, quickly trying to figure out where this came from... she is completely serious]
Kirstin: with wings; I want to fly.
Mommy: so you want to be a flying rainbow colored kitty? that should be fun!
[hoping next time I ask this question the answer has changed - where in the world do you get a flying rainbow-colored cat costume?]
Though it turns out, she's sticking to this plan... now it's up to mom to be creative on the costume this year. Should be interesting - now you can just wait for the pictures!
