When I was a kid, we were almost ALL hobo's (that's what we called puttin' on dirty, torn clothes, charcoal on yer face and a brown shopping bag in hand ...)

Three hours later (around 9 or so ... the shopping bag was full ... we were gigglin' an' laughin' and chock FULL o'sugar.

Only later in life did I see people dressing in drag and dracula and all sorts of costumes.

WE kids had FUN !

Saw this headline and thought we were getting costumes that make you look like a fat woman.

Turns out it is just plus-size standard costumes.

Ho hum.

If fat girls don’t want a costume, nobody is forcing them to buy one. They need to lighten up.

Those aren’t “fat girl” costumes.

That’s the Walmart “petite” women’s clothes department.
