I don't want to do Halloween

I'm so unmotivated in general right now, and that extends to Halloween. I'd really like it to just pass by unnoticed, and RB is young enough that I could get away with that. But my husband was appalled by that suggestion, so I guess we're doing Halloween. So now I need a low-effort, low-cost costume for a small person.

How about a T-shirt that says, "I'm a feminist. We look like everybody else."

Ha!! That sounds like a great t-shirt! Would it count as a "costume" though? :) (we wouldn't like to think of her as a "fake" feminist, right?)...

I did have that particular reference in mind, and I was playing off the tendency to vilify feminists--cute little girl already poisoned by her mother's man-hating politics--the horrors!

I LOVE IT!!!!! Alternately, you could dress her in jeans, a flannel shirt, and boots and give her a toy gun to carry,thus ironically representing the stereotype that feminists are "gun-toting, man-hating lesbians." I'm not sure how you represent the man-hating part. Of course, keeping in mind that you live in TX, most people will think that she's off on a hunting trip. :)
