With Halloween coming up quickly, I decided that I was not going to dress up this year. This upset my mother so much because I have dressed up every year, since I was born, and my mom is very sentimental. I did not want to upset her, so I decided that I had better go out and find a costume.

I was happy that I did because I found a Jane Jetson costume and I loved it. I would have bought it even if it had not been Halloween. My mother was thrilled and said that there was no reason that I could not dress up and celebrate Halloween just because I was not a child anymore.

I know that I will always be a child to her. Even when I have my own kids, she will still make me dress up. I don’t know why she wouldn’t as I cannot ever remember a year when she didn’t dress up as well. I guess I am lucky to have someone that cares so much. I think I’ll keep her, even though she can drive me crazy.
