Transcript:
Alice: Here are my sketches for my Halloween costume. A hideous, revolting scary pink. Who's also cute and fuzzy and, ideally, pink. Mom: Horrifying yet adorable? Just like you? Alice: Yes. Can you help me turn my vision into reality?
“Horrifying yet adorable” - if that’s not the perfect description of a pre-schooler (he said, looking over at his own 4-year-old), I don’t know what is!
It seems as if I once read a comment calling Alice’s mom “clueless”. I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect. She’s just a master of “stoneface” humor, which goes way over the head of her daughter.

Wow. A scary cute fuzzy pink bat. Sounds it would be a cool costume.

I might reverse the cute & the scary one. But I’m not 4 years old. Yet.
