Editor’s choice: Halloween Costume

Andrew:

When I was in the sixth grade, I didn’t take the time to come up with a costume, so I wore black dress pants, a white dress shirt, a black tie and a blazer and told myself I could come up with what I was later.

By my second class, I had ditched the blazer and was telling everyone I was a Mormon.My teachers thought it was hilarious, and kept goading me to ask other teachers if they would “convert.” My Mormon classmates were less than amused.

Mallory:

When I was 13, I decided to dress up in a flanel shirt and wear some overalls, and stuff my sleeves with straw.

It was a cheap costume and even cheaper because when I went to trick-or-treat, the person who answered the door told me I was too old.

Talk about a costume fail.

Hayley:

CANDY CORN!

Michelle:

In second grade, my mom forced me to be a tree. I didn’t want to be a tree, but that didn’t matter. She dyed some sweats brown and glued leaves to gloves. I also donned a bird’s nest in my hair.

Sadly, no one knew what I was. They kept calling me a bush.

Klint:

One year, my parents didn’t want to buy me an expensive Spiderman outfit, so instead, I assembled different assortments of things around my house and tried to make my own.

However, it ended up looking nothing like Spiderman, so I just said I was a monster.

People loved it, so apparently, I am not very good at making outfits.
