It's an exciting day in the Little People world, as the various characters attend a collective Halloween party and then set out to trick-or-treat. Not only are the brand new trick-or-treat figurines ready to partay, but the rest of the Little People are joining in as well. Proving that I am the totally uncool Mom who is completely out of the Little People loop, I offered suggestions on who else might be eligible to trick-or-treat, only to have most of my options shot down by Julia.
Some of my rejected ideas:
PROJECT DADDY AND CARTACARIZZA
ME: They can be dressed up as a king and queen because they're wearing crowns!
JULIA: Nooooo, Mom! They're GROWN-UPS! Grown-ups aren't ALLOWED to trick-or-treat!
ME: But you could pretend they're kids dressed up as a king and queen.
JULIA: Noooooo! They're NOT kids! They're PARENTS!
PRINCESS MIA:
ME: Ooh, here you go, she's dressed up as a princess!
JULIA: Noooo, Mom, she's a GROWN-UP!
ME: She is? I thought Princess Mia is the daughter of Project Daddy and Cartacarizza.
JULIA: She IS, but she grew up! SHE has kids now!
My bad.
THE HAUNTED HAYRIDE:
ME: Oh, how about they go to the pumpkin patch and ride on the hayride!
JULIA: No, Mom, that's their CAR!
Some of my non-rejected, but corrected, ideas:
SONYA LEE THE EXPLORER:
ME: Here you go, Sonya Lee is dressed up as an explorer!
JULIA: No, Mom, she's not an explorer, she's a JUNGLER.
THE WISE MAN:
ME: How about someone dressed up as a Wise Man?
JULIA: Well, or you can say Wise MEN. But if it's a girl, I call it Wise MIN.
Once they passed the test and were deemed appropriate to trick-or-treat, the Little People gathered in a big herd and were ready to hit the Halloween party:
For an extra spooky end to the evening, it seems that Julia decided to drive the passengers in the purple van around with Grandmother's dead corpse lying atop them. Either that or she thought it would be crazy scary to pig-pile the passengers into the car without seatbelts... or even seats.
As she drove from the Little People house to the wedding set to the trick-or-treat arena, Julia clarified where everyone lives for me:
ME: Julia, are they all neighbors?
JULIA: Well, their houses aren't all next to each other, but they're all best friends.
ME: Oh, okay, I see.
JULIA: These two are on Nofidel street, and this one is on Princess of the Land street.
Okay. Got it.
Meanwhile, Madeleine busied herself with a Dora figurine and a plastic piece of toast from the kitchen set, acting out a Dora the Explorer episode:
MADELEINE: Let's help Dora eat the SANDWICH! Eat, eat EAT! (loud chomping sounds.)
What an adventure.
Hooray! We did it! We helped Dora eat her sandwich! Thanks for helping!
