Who Are The Bad Parents

Preschools everywhere have an annual Halloween parade. Kids dress up and parents, family, and friends watch as the kids parade around the parking lot.

Our preschool has infants through kindergarten, with two or three classrooms for each age group. There were easily 150 kids in the Halloween parade.

As we watched the kids walk by, every single one was wearing a costume. Firemen, princesses, Spiderman, witches and all the usual suspects.

Except for one kid. This poor kid was in the parade in street clothes. Jeans and a red shirt. What terrible parents forgot their kid’s costume?

Any guesses who this kid was? Yes, it was Thing 3. For the second year in a row.

In our defense, we did bring the costume. A Yoda robe, hat, and ears. He just refused to wear it. Perhaps “refused” is the wrong word. More like the king of all tantrums despite the teachers’ best efforts. We weren’t surprised.

Here is Thing 3 as Yoda. Minus the Yoda.
