Get ready to ruin your kid’s Halloween costume by telling them they need to wear a coat. 

It’s that time of year when your kid wants to go spend all night trick-or-treating outside wearing the thinnest layer of cheap Halloween fabric known to man. You know better, so you make them bring a coat, but you also remember being that age and being so angry about the fact that you had to cover up your Sleeping Beauty costume with a North Face puffer just because your mom said so. But this is the joy of being a parent around Halloween. At least you get the parent tax when it comes to Halloween candy. You get your fair share of Butterfingers. You raised that kid, after all.
