Costumed kids tired, angry


With Halloween just weeks behind, an outcry is being heard from the tinniest mouths in America. A coalition of toddlers opposed to being forcefully dressed up is gaining momentum in several metropolitan areas.

Children Against Costumed Inanity spokestoddler Logan "Lobster Boy" Brachman said that kids across the country need to stand up to their parents and not allow the continued degradation.

"We are tired of being cute and cuddly. We do not want to be your pumpkins or teddy bears," Brachman said from his playpen in Schenectady, N.Y.

"It isn't just Halloween either," he continued. "We look ridiculous year round. How would you like to be adorned as a life-sized tree ornament?"

As Brachman's nanny Felipe Trujillo put him down for his nap, Brachman was dressed in his "favorite" cowboy outfit.

"I will not take this humiliation lying down," he said.

"I keep telling Mrs. Brachman not to let him eat so much candy. He gets really cranky around nap time," Trujillo said.
