Wee Bear Forced To Dress As Corn
It's that time of year again. Yes, Halloween is approaching. I love Halloween. I'm sure most of you love Halloween.
But Wee Bear does not love Halloween.
Do you know why?
Because every year his Mother makes him wear the corn-cob costume. Because she made it for him two years ago for the Thanksgiving pageant and worked her fingers to the bone after a long day at the Kwikee-Save to make sure that she didn't look like a loser in front of Ms. Tremple the oh-so-perky kindergarten teacher who had never had to put in an honest day's work in her life.
And when he asks if he can have a Spiderman costume or go out dressed as a pirate, she momentarily raises her eyes from her double gin-and-tonic and hisses:
"You'll wear the costume I give you, and be grateful I didn't make you wear a dress and dance."
Then Wee Bear reluctantly puts on his Corn-Cob Costume, and goes out into the night.

My mother has a doll named Joy similar to Wee Bear she made in 1983 when she was in to that crap. She dresses it up each holiday in the appropriate attire. She lost interest in making Joy new attire some years ago. So, since 1987 Joy the Doll wears the same bunny costume at Easter or witch costume at Halloween. Wearinig the same holiday inspired costumes for 20 years have left Joy looking a little tatty. A few years back she was dressed as a leprechan until Labor Day. Joy would love it if someone would take a new interest in her and take her to the Goodwill for new drag.
