Matthews Family 2044 Halloween

The decision
Laura: "What are you going to be for Halloween?"

Phoebe: "Britney Spears from the ...Baby One More Time music video."

Laura: "No, you're not going as Britney Spears."

Phoebe: "Why, mommy?"

Laura: "Because that was inappropriate for those who are under 13. You should be a princess or a witch. Oh! How about a ballerina fairy?"

Phoebe: "No! I want to be Britney Spears!"

Madisyn: "What's the point? That music video is 45 years old and so does the song, even though it was released on November."

Laura: "Madisyn, please."

Phoebe: "I want to be Britney Spears, so bad!"

Laura: "No, go as any costume or go as nothing."

Phoebe: "Please?"

Vic: "You heard what your mother said: you can't be Britney Spears from the ...Baby One More Time music video because it's inappropriate."

[Phoebe kicks Vic]

Vic: "If you kick me, there will be no trick-or-treating OR the Halloween parade for you!"

Phoebe (frowning): "Okay."

Madisyn: "I want to be Britney Spears, too!"

Phoebe: "Really?"

Madisyn: "Yeah. The sexy schoolgirl from that music video."

Phoebe: "You're over 13?"

Madisyn: "Well, duh. I can wear a tied up polo shirt and a black skirt."

Phoebe: "Finally..."

Vic: "That's fine for you. So, what will you be? A fairy, a witch, a princess or a cat?"

Phoebe: "A princess!"

Vic: "Perfect."

Purchasing
[Laura purchases a white button-up shirt, a gray cardigan, a black skirt, dark gray socks, black shoes, a purple sports bra, pink fluffy ponytail holders, and dark red ribbons on the internet]

Onwards
Laura: "Alright, children. Are you ready to go trick-or-treating?"

Phoebe and Garrett (in unison): "Yes, mommy."

[Phoebe is dressed in her pink princess costume]

[Garrett is dressed as a policeman]

Laura: "Nice costumes."

Vic: "Wait a minute. Where are Claire, P.J. and Madisyn?"

Laura: "Oh, Claire is having a Halloween sorority party."

[P.J. and Madisyn come downstairs. P.J. is dressed as an army soldier while Madisyn is dressed as Britney Spears in her ...Baby One More Time attire]

Madisyn: "We're right here."

Laura: "Wanna come trick-or-treating with your siblings."

P.J.: "No thanks, we rather pass out candy than trick-or-treat. It's too childish and immature."

Vic: "Oh come on! Trick-or-treating is for everyone!"

Madisyn: "No, it's not."

Laura: "Damn... how old are you?"

P.J.: "17."

Madisyn: "14."

Vic: "Good, so be right back. We will be home by 10 o'clock sharp."

P.J.: "Okay."

Laura: "You hand out candy to the kids."

[Laura, Vic, Phoebe, and Garrett walk away and leave]
