Halloween!
On Halloween morning, Luke asked me, “What are you going to be?” I thought, if he had asked me this during the weekend, then by Tuesday I would know. But since it’s already Halloween, I guess I’ll just wear orange and black. So I did. I went as myself. It was the perfect costume.

But then I panicked. What kind of mother am I that my daughter doesn’t have a Halloween costume? She wore her Korean dress for a Halloween party during the weekend, but it just didn’t seem right to put her in it AGAIN.

So, I riffled through her clothes in the dresser, then the closet, and came upon the silk Chinese mandarin-collar blouse and pants set that, although it still had tags, was a hand-me-down that came directly from China. A-ha! I put Chiara in it, and was just going to call her a Chinese girl.

Then Ahjuma put sunglasses on her.

Now she was in costume! What was she? Well, a Mini Hong Kong Martial Arts Action Movie Star, of course!
