Scary Vs Pretty

Almost every morning Tanay has been waking up to ask "Is it Halloween yet?" And Every time that question when answered there is a disappointment that shows up on his face. I have been managing to keep him cheered up for the rest of the day and make him wait for Halloween.
The conversations on Halloween have become inevitable every day, with so much media focus on celebrations, decorations in every alternate house; especially ever since he has his new possession of Spider-man costume.

So it was last night:
He asked "Can I become a ghost for Halloween?"
I said "No" and reminded him that he already has his spider-man super-hero costume.
He said "Ghosts are not scary right? Its just a thing in Halloween time."
I wondered, may be its the school and his friends talking about Halloween and so the question.
Well, the next question was: "What are you gonna be Mommy?"
I said "mmmm May be a witch!".
He made an angry face and weird expression of bad face and said "No, you cant be a witch, it's a bad one" He commanded "You should be a princess!"
I asked "why, why cant I be a witch?"
He said "Because you are a girl and girls become princess for Halloween"

I smiled and I thought, I wish I was a 'little girl' who could dress pretty princess and flaunt cute for tick or treat!
