Mabel: Mommy, okay. You know...when... Okay. Mommy. You know when thurr's just... Mommy what do ghosts be for Halloween?
Me: What are ghosts for Halloween? Well I think they're ghosts, right? They're already something, they're ghosts.
Mabel: No.
Me: No?
Mabel: Mommy, just listen. Ghosts can't be ghosts because thurr already ghosts and you're suppost to wear a costume. So... Ghosts can't be ghosts!
Me: I feel like you're really trying to complicate something that ghosts already had pretty figured out, Mabes.
Mabel: Mommy, you told me I hadta have a costume. Now I'm worried that all the ghosts in the world will feel left out of Halloween because they jus have ghostiness and no costume. Isn't that sad?
Me: Well I don't know how often they get invited to parties, so maybe it's not even a thing.
Mabel: Mommy, you're being silly.
Me: I'll try to watch that.
Mabel: Mommy, I think I should start finding costumes for the ghosts to wear.
Me: Good thinkin', Mabes.
Mabel: Can I look in your closet?
Me: You want to look in my closet for Halloween costume pieces...for ghosts?
Mabel: Yeah, spooky clothes an' funny stuff too.
Me: Things that make you look silly or scary. In my closet.
Stay down, 'my self esteem'.
