Edit to add the Princess and the Pea:

This has to be Halloween, 1998. That pea pod costume, here being worn by the youngest Son, Interrupted, wound up as a spectacular hand me down around my friends and their friends. Half of Ahwatukee is looking at that costume and nodding  with fond memories.

The handsome guy holding the pea pod doesn’t know it yet, that freakishly warm October evening, but he’s holding his psychological twin. The older Son, Interrupted may look like a redheaded mini-me of his father, but they are emotionally miles apart. That tiny little vegetable, though…he gives his father a stimulating run for his money every day.

What the heck is she doing now?
