Best costumes: a 10 year old kid with a ridiculously outre "Blade" costume; a long-suffering four year old whose parents had dressed him up as an airplane (a ridiculous cardboard, silver-spray painted getup).
Made a teenage girl's night by correctly identifying her as Ariel, the little mermaid (how many other red haired, blue-green tailed mermaids d'ya know?) I too know the sorrow of the kid with the unidentifiable costume: I once went as a totem pole in a meticulously researched costume only to be called a candy bar, and most mortifyingly, "Gumby." Whatevs.
Funniest kid: chubby little girl with tiny fuzzy wings strapped to her back and pipe cleaner antennae who walked straight up to me, and deadpanned, "I'm a butterfly." "And you're beee-yoot-iful!" I said back.
