You know that feeling you get when you can be "first" and you think of the greatest line ever? Don't ever listen to it...

Why not?

Well I thought it was clever. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

you can say he's the cookie monster #1 but in all of us there lives a cookie monster who would gladly inhale candy without even chewing if it was good for us. or if nobody judged us for it.

That's great but I was trying to imply that that's what his costume was.

I stand by what I said to justify my unhealthy longstanding addiction to candy and pies so there.

ikr 15. I've only ever gotten one 'first' comment and all I could think of saying was 'oh my god.'

dude, the kids 2 years old, I doubt he remembers going trick or treating at 1 so I blame OP. OP shouldn't have gone on about it at such lengths for him to have a melt down that he had to wait. Any smart parent knows that's too much of a wait for a little kid. Sure try on the costume for dress up and let the subject wait til closer to Halloween.

But what if it didn't fit? If he waited till Halloween to figure that out, he'd have a little bit of a problem.

@53, let's turn down on this emotional rant here and start using logic. Your criticism of OP here does not make sense and suggests you know nothing about 2 year olds or raising kids. What OP did made logical sense because if you wait until Halloween to try on the costume and it doesn't fit, then there's no Halloween. How would the 2 year old feel then? Think before you start attacking people, please.

Or you could actually read #53 comment and then you would see that he suggested trying the costume on as a "dress up" to see if it fit, and then wait until closer to the date to tell him it's a halloween costume and teach him about trick or treating.

@53 You assume the parents told him all about what the costume is for, but OP may have other children. Older siblings would already be making a big deal out of Halloween and telling their baby bro about wearing costumes and getting candy.

Poor kid just wants candy like the rest of us....

Try a countdown till Halloween (and trick-or-treating) the same way that you can get a countdown calendar of days till Christmas. That might help your son keep track of how much longer until he can use his costume and get really excited when the time comes.

No, I never did.

No, I never did, and neither has my kid. Even I didn't go until I was about 8-9 because I misbehaved one year and my mom took my costume back and didn't let me go. What's ****** up is that I was born in Halloween.

4, have* not of

Yeah mr. Dowan ain't playin these games. I mean who's foolin who?

That's a really good idea

Most parents get their kids' costumes 2 days before Halloween?

Ay ay ayyyyyyy. No backsass

How is that backsass? It's a legitimate question.

Or just let him wear the costume when he wants to. When I was that age I practically lived in my pink fairy costume. Where's the harm?

48- the issue isn't that he wants to wear the costume, it's that he wants to go trick or treating a month early.
