The Legend of Pinkfoot
In September, my nearly 4 year old niefling told me a great spooky story. I have it recorded but my brother doesn't want me to post pics or video of the kiddo. So here's a transcript:
"Pinkfoot! It's The Pinkfoot! Because it's a good time to tell that story!"
Dramatic pause. Meaningful hand guestures.
"When it's dark
And when the moon is full
He comes and eats s'moooooores."
Then he went in to describe a Smore recipe., Despite having never roasted marshmallows or eaten s'mores. I suspect that there might have been a round of age appropriate campfire stories.
So here's the thing. I own a gorilla suit. No mask or hands or feet but the fur jumpsuit with the rubber chest.
Today, I dug out the fur suit. Picked up vegan marshmallows and bamboo skewers (great big ones), and a camping hat, and wore all of this with vibrant pink socks to visit the nieflings.
Pinkfoot sighting!
Unfortunately, my niefling had completely forgotten the story, and was a little freaked out about the costume.
But the marshmallow was appreciated.
