Filial oddness

eve_primeTonight was D’s first band concert of the new school year, a UNICEF concert, which meant they could wear their Halloween costumes instead of the formal wear I described a few days ago. (And, by the way, most of the boys who did wear the white shirts with black slacks did not have their shirts tucked in, so I guess D. gets to dodge that particular bullet.)
D. chose to wear his costume, which he has been planning for literally eight months. As in, every few weeks, discussing some new nuance. He is a... Lunch Lady. As in, a school cafeteria worker. For a while he was going to be a zombie lunch lady, and then up until today he was going to be a pig-nosed lunch lady, and generally he’s been intending to be an evil lunch lady. Until he browsed through the wigs on Amazon.com, he was going to be a late-middle-aged lunch lady with a hairnet. However, one of the wigs was just too inspiring, so instead he is a lunch lady with a glorious, foot-tall, black beehive hairdo.
It’s kind of hard to tell what he is, though, since the hairnet wouldn’t fit over the wig. (And getting a wig on over his long hair was tricky – I had to plaster his hair to his head with bobby pins first.) The rest of the costume is just an apron, plus a ladle he waves around. I’m thinking of making him a proper name badge: “Hello, I am Your Lunch Lady.”
It is a pretty strange costume.
Oh! Also, he was one of five raffle winners and brought home a cute little pumpkin. (There were probably about 500 tickets!)
