Emily’s Halloween Costume Pick: Sock Hop Sweetie

It is my most heartfelt belief that the best place to be a baby would be in a diner. Greasy hamburgers, salty French fries, thick chocolate malts… all the things that frighten our adult-sized thighs could only make baby thighs all the more munchable. Is there such a thing as too many rolls on a baby thigh? I’ll tell you: NO. NO THERE IS NOT. It is a real shame, a real honest-to-God shame, that we are not encouraged, as a SOCIETY, to ply our smallest children with high-fat foods to encourage leg and arm rolls. (Especially around the wrist! OMG, the wrist rolls are SO ADORABLE.)

And is there a better time to be a diner waitress than in the 50s? All those football jocks hanging out after practice! All those after-sock-hop dates! So we’ll be dressing our little girl in her very finest diner attire this Halloween: a swishy polka-dot skirt, a collared shirt and cardigan. Bobby socks and a pair of saddle shoes! And a matching headband. Not to mention a shaped-to-fit Huggies Little Movers diaper – it should mean we can comfortably hit every house in our neighborhood without fear of leaks ruining her fashionable little get-up.
