Costumes

The boys are running around with their Clone Trooper outfits on, preliminary to Halloween. I would have preferred Harry Potter outfits. The Star Wars masks, in particular, kind of freak me out.

OK, I'm not as freaked out as the toddler in the pic. This could be every parent's private fantasy, or just an unsettling photo. It does seem a lot like the "uncanny valley": too much like a human, but very, very different -- at least from the kid's perspective
