\"pic\"Halloween is fast approaching. Thankfully, my days of dressing up for the occasion are over, because I have no idea what costume I\u2019d wear (a zombie pirate). My wife and I do, however, have to figure out what our three-year-old will dress up as. In the past, she\u2019s been a bumblebee and a princess. This year, she\u2019s confidently announced that she\u2019d like to be a witch. I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s a good witch or a bad witch. Either way, it looks like I\u2019ll be creating a flying broom.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s entirely likely that she\u2019ll change her mind at the last minute and make her daddy proud by opting for a watermelon-themed costume. Party City<\/span> has the \u201cFruit Ninja\u201d getup on the right, but I don\u2019t\u2019 think she\u2019s entered her ninja phase yet.<\/p>\n

I could also show off my carving skills and make her costume out of actual watermelons. Go ahead and laugh, but dressing children up in watermelons is apparently the newest trend in China<\/a>. Chinese blogging site Weibo even chronicles the trend of older kids (and a few brazen adults) who carve masks and other accessories<\/a> out of watermelon. I might do that for myself, but only if our little one is willing to join me.<\/p>\n

A costume made of watermelon probably wouldn\u2019t get my wife\u2019s approval, so our little watermelon could opt for something more adorable like the costume below (courtesy of The Costume Caf\u00e9<\/a> over on Etsy). It\u2019s definitely cute, but even if she chose that outfit, I\u2019d probably still need to make a witch\u2019s broom.<\/p>\n
