I Scare Myself

(I, my mom, and my dad are in their room. We’re talking about my mom’s school. She’s studying to become a masseuse. She talks about how her school will let her dress up for Halloween.)

Mom: “Well, I don’t want to invest too much money in a costume.”

Me: “Then what are you going to go as?”

Mom: “I was thinking about it in school, and I told my classmate ‘I have the perfect idea for a costume.'”

Dad: “What is it?”

Mom: “I’m gonna go as myself.”

(Silence.)

Me: “Well, it’s scary.”

Dad & Me: *fistbump*
