Tom and I would *like* to think we're two intelligent human beings. You know, we have college degrees, both working in wonderful professions, etc. So here's the story of Jack's Halloween costume, along with an explanation of the title of this blog.We're at Costco and see cute costumes for $10. WHOO-HOO. One of Jack's favorite books is "I love you, Stinky Face" which contains a skunk in it.
Tom: Hey, here's a skunk.
Marla: Yea! Let's get it.
...Hoods arrive at home....
Marla: Uhm, this isn't a skunk. There isn't a stripe down the back.
Tom: Ooooh! I guess not.
Marla: Silly us, it's a bear!
....Costume is put away....a couple weeks later and a trip to a Fall Carnival (pics above).....
We arrive at the fall carnival and run into some of Tom's coworkers.
Coworker to Jack: Hi there Jack, "Bark, Bark"
Marla: Uhm, I think a bear says, "Grrrr".
Coworker: Oh wow - I thought he was a dog.
Marla: Nooooo, waaait a minute. (Inspects the outfit closer) Oh my, HE IS A DOG! TOOOM!!
Tom: What?!?
Marla to another coworker: Is he a dog? Is the long tail the giveaway (duh).
Other coworker: Yes Marla, he's a dog.
.....Marla and Tom laugh and are sheepish.
NOW, if anyone would like to guess that Jack's something else, by all means. We've realized we're numnuts on this one. BUT, we still think he looks cute :)

That is an hilarious story! Thanks for the laugh! Isn't it just funny how intelligent we were B.C.? Just wait until the teen years if you think you're loosing it now!!!! Yeah, I know NOTHING!!!! Sometimes I think it's actually better that way! :)
Ok... LOL... I just asked Chad what he thought the costume was and (without knowing the story) he guessed a cow! :-) Thanks for the laugh!
HEY, with those colors, he COULD be a Holstein Cow!! lol....
Ok - I'm feeling MUCH better already...as long as someone else couldn't tell right off what it was.
(You know me, Pam - always good for a laugh!)
You guys are funny. He's cute no matter WHAT he is. No doubt about it.
That's hilarious - definitely a dog I'd say. And a super cute one at that! If I'd seen $10 adorable costumes at Costco I couldnt' have resisted, but at $25 for something she would've wanted out of all evening, we happily settled in to hand-me-downs! =)
Had a good laugh over this one! Skunk, bear, dog all went through my mind looking at the pics before I read the story. I think it would've taken more scrutinizing in person to settle on something.
