When the east wind blows chilly and Starbucks starts putting pumpkin in EVERYTHING, you know Halloween is just around the corner! Parents usually have a little extra fun when Halloween rolls around, especially parents of littles. Not only do you get to raid your kid’s candy stash, but you get to be the final say in the costume department. Part of the perks of being a parent is dressing up your kid to go with your own awesome costume. These hilarious photos show grinning parents proudly displaying their favorite nerdoms on their progeny. It’s parenting done right! Read through to get some ideas for your next costume, since kids make the best accessories. It’s twice the cute with half the effort!
A Very Cheesy Costume
This kid is a slice off the old block. He doesn’t even look like he’s old enough to eat pizza yet, let alone dress up like a delicious slice! His mom gets points for originality though, as I would have never thought of this. But let’s ask the burning question here: is this deep dish Chicago style pizza or New York Style pizza? We have a feeling that some parents will love this costume if it’s Chicago based and some will hate it for the very same reason. Come to think of it, this really is a polarizing Halloween costume.
Hello, Clarice
At least with a mini-Hannibal Lecter, you won’t have to worry about your kid running off. Let’s hope this kid has no idea who this character is, since Silence of the Lambs isn’t exactly a kid-friendly movie. I think this parent has found the most effective way to keep their child quiet & still. This seems more like a punishment than a costume, but I’m sure you won’t hear the kid complaining… mostly because you wouldn’t be able to hear him through that bite-proof mask!
