Comments on: Book Characters Are Sad Substitutes for Real Halloween Costumes https://www.dibsblog.com/?p=201 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 01:48:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Nicola https://www.dibsblog.com/?p=201#comment-138458 Nicola Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:18:57 +0000 http://www.dibsblog.com/?p=201#comment-138458 I 100% agree with you although it doesn’t surprise me at all! In my boys school they banned masks last year. When I asked why, I got the lame response “because it scares some of the children”…..duh, it’s Halloween, that’s the point isn’t it?

My youngest hated fireworks and balloons when he was younger. The solution was to not take him to a bonfire party and avoid McDonalds with balloons. Why should somewhere like McDonalds pamper to my one child….it’s just one of those things!

All this cosseting children makes for unstable adults that won’t be able cope with the challenges that life WILL throw at them!

A good protest would be for the parents to dress their children as Stuart Little with joke axe through his head or a Cat in the Hat zombie! But hey, I hate having to conform ;)

Half of the idea of halloween is to scare aware evil spirits from roaming the streets. I’m sorry but the cat in the hat or most fictional book characters aren’t overly scary nor are they especially in keeping with the idea of halloween. I feel sorry for all those students having to conform to this.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.
