Evan is going through a Zorro phase, and so we needed to go to Lowe's and get a few supplies in order to complete the Zorro costume. He had a cape, and a bandana with eyes cut into it, but we still needed the "whap" as he called it.
I had NO IDEA what a "whap" was at first. A nap? A flap?
FINALLY the old girl got it! A WHIP!
We drove to Lowe's and he was studded out in his bandana, cape, and straw hat (that we were also buying black spray paint for...) As we approached the entrance into Lowe's, he noticeed all the cute grins he was getting from everyone around. So, he stopped at the foot of the automatic door and said, "I need to take all this off... I'm too cute!" (I love his humility...)
"Okay." I said. "But, why don't you want to wear it?"
"Zorro can't save people and swing in the room without his whip, mom."
We went in and asked for help in finding the perfect "whap" and before we knew it, Evan had his whip! The guy that helped us burned the ends so that it wouldn't fray. NOW he was now ready to be cute! He put his entire wardrobe on, and it was Zorro IN THE FLESH at Lowe's Home Impovement Warehouse! WOW! While we were in the check out line, Zorro kept fighting off the bad people... he was whipping everything that made noise -- mainly Emily...
I am now needing to RE-THINK the whole whip idea...
