UnHappy Halloween

Other

This happened when I was ten.

We were having Halloween Day at school,and I wanted to be a pirate because of a movie I had seen.

My girl cousin, who was a year younger than me, had decided to be a boy for Halloween, so my aunt called my mom to borrow some of my clothes. The next morning they came to our house early,before school. She came running to me and told me that she was going to be a boy for Halloween.I told her that I didn't care,and then she told me that I was going to be a girl.I told her she was crazy,but she said that she had overheard our mothers talking and that her mom had brought some of her clothes for me.I called her a liar and went to see our moms.

As soon as I walked into the livingroom,I knew she wasn't lying. There was a wig on one of those foam stands on the coffee table,and my mom and aunt were both smiling real weird at me.I shook my head and told them NO WAY,before they even said a word.My mom told me not to be a baby,that it was a great costume idea,and that I would look cute dressed as a little girl.My aunt said that it would be really adorable,since my cousin was going dressed as a boy.I told them I wouldn't do it!

I was still refusing when my aunt was putting make-up on me,and I was wearing a pink party dress,the blonde wig with pigtails,ankle socks and mary jane shoes. My cousin wore one of my sweatshirts,a pair of my jeans,a baseball cap and my sneakers.We were sent to school like that,where I spent a humiliating day,and they took us trick-or-treating dressed like that.My cousin loved it,but I've never been so embarrassed.

I still don't like Halloween to this day!
