Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet by Diane deGroat

This story cracked me up!  A little boy plans to be a Martian Space Pilot for Halloween confident that he is the only one in his whole school who will think of that idea. When sent to change for the costume parade in the boy’s bathroom he discovers that nearly everyone was on the same wave-length with him. As he pulls out his costume, he nearly faints when he discovers that a mix-up left him with his sister’s pink ballerina costume. How he handles the situation is typical of those who like to be the ‘only’ ones with a good idea. I highly recommend this one as a fun Halloween story and a good lesson in making lemonade out of lemons.
