Conversation with a friend today:
Me: So I'm trying to think of a costume to wear given that I don't have much time.
Friend: Whatever you do, don't try painting your face like a pumpkin. I did that once and swear I won't do it ever again.
Me: What?! Ha ha! Well, I'm thinking of going as a policewoman or a cowgirl.
Friend: Those are so not Halloween. They're not scary.
Me: Okay, then. Maybe I'll go as a cockroach.
