Mom, the triplets’ grandmother, took the three to some Halloween party across town and only then did she realize that she’d left their spooky costumes at home.
So she dropped the kids off anyway and came back home to retrieve their outfits.
By the time Mom returned to the party and went up to the house to ask for help in bringing the costumes inside, the other kids had already awarded the street-clothes-dressed triplets the prize for “The Scariest Children at The Party!”
Anyone who knows the triplets will hear this with a complete lack of surprise.
Mom, of course, was horrified and yet Mom, as you know, is the most polite person on the planet. So she left the costumes in the car, smiled warmly at her grandchildren and went on and on about how clever they were. “Wow! Well done! Winning a contest using only your imagination!”
Actually, I think it was a lot more the other kids’ imaginations that had given the prize to the triplets. That and reality.
