I was so impressed with this costume until I got to a house and was called "a cute little boy". That finished me. I would not believe that it was actually a COMPLIMENT, and a fantastic costume that they couldn't even tell it was me. Ahh, the fun of being 10.

My Mother always made sure at least one of my brothers accompanied me on my trails through the neighbourhood. I never could understand until much later why many doors wouldn't open to us.
