We don’t have a Halloween costume parade at the kid’s school, I guess to satisfy the religious nutcases. However, right around Halloween, we have a book character parade – they have to dress up as, well, a book character, and carry the book in the parade.
This year, the girl is going as Barnum Brown, from her current favorite book Battle of the Bones. For our costume photoshoot at home, the boy is going as a T. rex. I just think it’s funny as hell she’ll be “studying” her brother like he’s a prehistoric monster.
Oh yes, is Anne the only one of you who’s ever held a real coconut? Because, either you two are holding coconuts grown near Chernobyl, or you picked up watermelons by mistake.
Hoi’ve got a lo-ve-ly bunch o’ coconuts.
There they are a-standin’ in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer ‘ead!
Give ‘em a twist, a flick o’ the wrist,
That’s what the showman said.
Hoi’ve got a lo-ve-ly bunch o’ coconuts.
Hevery ball yer throw will make me rich.

Those are EDEN coconuts! They had to be large enough to feed a T-Rex, so of *course* they were extra large.
Humans only get measley coconuts, since Eve ruined everything.
