Addressing The Dressing Situation
(I am around fifteen, and want to start cosplaying. My parents are pretty geeky themselves, but are very much against this.)
Me: “Mom! I want to make my own Halloween costume this year! Can you take me to the craft store to get fabric and sewing supplies?”
Mom: “No, that’s a waste of my time and your money.”
Me: “Please? You’ve seen the sewing projects I’ve done for Home-Ec. I can sew!”
Mom: “No, because you’re just going to make something from one of those Japanimation shows you watch.”
Me: “So? There’s a tape in your room of you and Dad dressed like Spock and Kirk on an Enterprise set.”
(Long silence.)
Mom: “I can take you tomorrow.”
