R Rated Halloween

Zoe had been asking me for vampire fangs. The kids had behaved well all that week, so for a treat I took them to a Halloween store. It's one of those seasonal ones that sets up in a vacant store space. I didn't realize that by entering it, I might scar them in ways I couldn't have predicted.

When we entered the store to search for vampire fangs, we were immediately assaulted by some "adult" costumes. Nothing pornographic, just tasteless and tacky. I steered them away from that section, only to be confronted (at kid eye level) by a set of plastic boobs. "Oh!" Zoe exclaimed, followed by, "Oh, Mama. That is totally not cool." Liam then grabbed the boobs, one in each hand like a pro, gave them a good squeeze and we moved on.
