Halloween Costumes and Teenage Girls

Today I took Burger out shopping for a Halloween costume, and oh my - I've apparently gotten old and stodgy all of a sudden. Finding a costume that I didn't find entirely inappropriate was much harder than I had expected it to be. Most of the costumes are low cut and very short, and I guess I'm not as ready as I think I am for such things on my 14 year old! The odd thing is that I ended up insisting on one costume because, while it's skimpy, it's at least not entirely slutty (cheerleaders wear less clothing). It's still less modest than I want to encourage her to wear, but I guess it is what it is...

Yes, my darling Burger will be Supergirl, sans 6" heels. I can't believe this was more okay than the other costumes.

For some reason, she refused my idea of being a large furry creature of some kind. Sigh.
