I was a pumpkin (a very large one) at a Halloween party as a boy -- the costume was hand-crafted by my Mother and was exquisite, but a terrible thing to wear…..
In 7th grade, I was a basketball hoop. I had a large white cardboard box siting on my shoulders with a hula hoop attached as the basketball hoop. My friend Kati was a basketball. Kati could step through the hula hoop for a 'shot'. We placed 2nd or 3rd at the middle school dance. It was awesome.
