1) In "The Karate Kid," Daniel was dressed as a shower for the dance. Perhaps you can find inspiration there.

2) It's over a month away--maybe he will change his mind by then. At least he won't miss the party that has "everything but the kitchen sink". :)

3) Maybe a Mertal Shop can make him a Kitchen Sink made to size.

4) Yes, you know those mertal shops. I hear they can do anything. If he still wants to be a sink, maybe you could whip something up with felt or foam?

5) What? Not a vacuum cleaner or garage door?

6) Shoo, I did later propose a vacuum cleaner. Because, somehow, I think that will be easier than a kitchen sink.

7) You should search the internet for similar costume ideas that you'll be basin it on.

...I got nothin'.

8) I think Big Dog should field this costume challenge! Or maybe you could persuade him to be Mr. Rogers or Trolley or King Friday (is that right?)...

9) Oh come on, you know Dave could build the coolest kitchen sink! Foam core board?

10) If he has a wagon maybe you coul cover it in white cardboard and put a metal strainer on his head for a stopper/drain.

11) That would be awesome. You guys should totally build one, with running water and all, and Mia could be a fridge (someone's got to carry your beer around during the trick-or-treating). Good luck!

12) Well, I pulled out last years costumes, and they still fit! So, we're no longer asking what he wants to be for Halloween. He will be Thomas again. No choice!

13) And we were all looking forward to your creativity with the kitchen sink. :(

I'm sure he will enjoy it no matter what he goes as. :)
