Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, this is Lita.
Hopefully this one is goingwell and this is a podcast about
my autism and also about mydancing, and also I'm doing this
with my mommy Also.
I love to have this and also mymentor is Chloe and also I love
Hollywood Usually.
I think Hollywood happenssometimes and also I hope you
would like this so thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey Lita, welcome to
Lita's Tap Style this week.
Now you're a candy jack.
How are you doing this week?
Halloween-y it is.
It's close enough to October1st that we're just going to
pull the trigger.
We have been.
Oh yes, you got a newSquishmallow while we were at
Target.
We are the house that gives outthe Ring Pops and the
(00:43):
individual Oreos, which means I.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And the White Reese's
Ghosts.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh yeah, the White
Reese's Ghosts, and we tend to
also give out cookies and creamthings, so we're the house, that
the kids you know the realstuff.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The real stuff
because grownups are weird and
they think we like grownup candy.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I mean, I think a lot
of kids like the chocolates and
everything, but the amount ofkids who run up to the door
going.
Do you have the Oreos this year?
Do you have the Ring Pops thisyear?
Which?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
shocked you.
I was thinking those things youwere talking about and running
the stores going like why aren'tthey like excited about this
those things?
Like excited about this, thosethings?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Ring pops are like no
different than dum-dum suckers
okay.
Yeah, but the difference is youbarely get it.
Every Halloween there's aplenty of dum-dums in your bag.
When you come home, there'slike lots of dum-dums in your
bag, I meant the ring pop.
Yes, yes, I think we are theonly house with the ring pops,
and you get dum-dums at likeevery single freaking house.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They're not even
freaking where.
You get them all seasonfreaking, you get them for
Christmas.
That's why they just becomeliterally their name, literally.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Last year we ran so
far out of the ring pops that I
had to break into our party bag.
That's not Halloween ring pops.
We had chocolates.
I bought lots of chocolates togive out.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Who gives a care?
Everybody gives out chocolate,like everybody, and anybody
gives out chocolate Likeeveryone gives out freaking
chocolate.
They don't even give out thegood chocolate.
It's just like the Miner.
They don't even give out thegood, freaking chocolate.
That's only Halloween.
(02:33):
They don't even give out thefreaking Halloween Oreos.
They just give out the normalOreos, because apparently none
of them know what HalloweenOreos are.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, so the had to
run.
The reason you've got your newSquishmallow Zero is we had to
run by Target for the secondtime to grab even more stuff.
Because, oh yes, please show it.
Everyone and their dog knows itand our Target gets one shipment
of the Halloween single packOreos and one shipment of the
Ring Pops.
Yes, I think everyone sees theSquishmallow.
(03:05):
You put the Squishy Mallow down, okay, anywho, which meant you
came home with a HalloweenSquishmallow, but we now have
the Oreos and we may need to goget another day of Ring Pops,
because we always run out ofRing Pops.
It's like I don't know.
I think the kids have it equalto the full-size candy bars.
What do you think, lita?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You mean the thing
that almost everybody gives out,
no, the full-size candy bars.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Not almost everyone
in this neighborhood gives out
the full-size candy bars andit's never mattered what
neighborhood we have lived in.
We give out Ring Pops andeveryone and their dog is like.
Yeah because nobody gives outanything.
Okay, I kind of have gottenthat idea.
So we are here to kick offspooky season.
I know it's a few days early,but hey, it's one of your
(03:49):
favorite times of year, is itnot?
Is spooky season a favoritetime of year.
There's a squishy mellow and ithas a pumpkin fur nose.
I think we can all see thepumpkin fur nose, but maybe
people tuned in to see you andnot the squishy mellow.
I don't care, the squishymellow I don't care.
We thought we after last week'sreason very big rant on reasons
(04:09):
you should let your childrenwith autism spread their wings
and fly.
I think it was a very largerant.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Last night at least,
I talked nothing about the dark
side.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, we thought that
we'd uh, kind of lighten the
mood a little bit this week anddiscuss costumes you have worn
in your dance life for Halloween, because every single studio
has, you know, the costumesHalloween week, correct, lita,
as you are eating yourmicrophone again we are just a
few minutes in and you're eatingbut you have had a problem with
(04:38):
a lot of your costumes that, um, they've never necessarily hit
right, which is weird, because Ispend a lot of time working on
your costumes necessarily hitright, which is weird, because I
spend a lot of time working onyour costumes.
They hit right with thechildren, yeah, and they seem to
do perfectly well when you'reout trick-or-treating or going
to boo at the zoo or going toany other Halloween trunk or
treat.
It's just dance studios whereyou seem to have a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Teachers have
problems.
Apparently, they don't knowwhat Halloween means.
Apparently, they don't knowwhat Halloween means.
Apparently, they don't knowwhat.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Halloween means
You've had problems where
teachers are like is that acostume?
And you've had other problemswhere teachers have told you
that the costume isinappropriate for weird and
unique reasons.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I wore a Hermione
costume when I was six and it
was the ball gown she wore whenshe was 16.
That ball was all the exchangestudents.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I think you were
eight, and then you re-wore it
at nine.
You wore it at eight as no.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, you're not.
I thought you were seven and Iwas six.
No, seven, seven, seven, Ithought six was the Um.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You may have been
seven, you're right.
You wore Hermione at seven as aChristmas and then rewore it at
eight as the Halloween, I think.
Because I originally made thatas a Christmas dress, since it
was a Yule dress but you werestill, I made it a little big,
and because all those layersupon layers upon layers.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I was swimming.
I found a whale.
I'm pretty sure it dawned whileI found the whale I was
swimming.
I think I found a whale in that.
I'm pretty sure I found a whalein that.
Pretty darn well sure I found awhale in that, geez.
So not my best design ever.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Pretty sure I found a
whale in that.
The problem is I had to kind ofmake the bodice a little bit
bigger because of all thoselayers upon layers upon layers
of it was not hot If you'rethinking it layers of.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It was not hot, if
you're thinking it was hot.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It was not hot.
No, it was tuli upon tuli, tuliupon tuli upon tuli upon tuli.
But let's start from thebeginning.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
You had the Snow
White costume that you wore when
you were six and it was fromthe original color scheme.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yes, Disney did
change color schemes and there
was a lot of people asking onewas it a costume?
Last I checked, it looksperfectly like a costume to me.
Does it look like a costume toyou?
Yes, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Somewhere around here
we are going to put like oh and
also yes, there was a timewhere I didn't wear dresses I
like dresses and didn't have ahatred for dresses.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think some of that
hatred from dresses has come
from being in dance and some ofthe times you've been forced to
wear.
Every time I've made you acostume or any outfit I've made
you, we have been very clear onmaking sure you don't have a
sensory issue with that fabricand you tend to like wearing
dresses that you don't have asensory issue with the fabric
(07:25):
smart thing about the whole partthat before 11 I could not hold
in my core and comments weredone that were very hurtful.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Why did everybody
keep commenting on that?
Why could I never escape that?
Why did everybody keepcommenting on that?
I wouldn't have came to thetime dresses everybody could see
it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, I mean, I mean
there is also that that you wore
dresses and you were notnecessarily as in control of
your core as a lot of your danceteachers would like, and they
called you fat and they calledyou slobby and they said you
didn't look good in outfits.
And this is a young kid andthis is one of the things that
is not happening at AutisticWings.
You are not going to see someof our teachers complain.
(08:08):
I mean, tighten up while you'rein dance to kind of work,
because you need the core fordancing, correct, lita.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
, that's like an escape from our
family members.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
True that, but a
tighten up your core in dancing,
I think works across the board.
But we are not going to sitthere and call your kid ugly or
fat, okay, Just because.
True that, but a tighten upyour core in dancing, I think,
works across the board.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But we are not going
to sit there and call your kid
ugly or fat.
Okay, just because their coreis a little loose.
I thought it was just normalfor everybody to call you fat
even though you don't look.
Well, I did not look fat, youdidn't look fat.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Apparently.
I was fat even though I did notlook fat, no.
So you had the Snow Whitecostume, which everyone was like
that's not a costume, that'sdress.
And you and I were like it's acostume.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I thought it was just
for Aboriginal book scholars.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
No, what I got told
was I had made you and that one.
I didn't use good fabric, Iused fabric from like Joanne's
costume section.
It was not decent fabric and itwas really loose.
It was made for you to dancingbecause you had that thriller
thing with Michelle's.
So what did you get told?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
it was a Sunday dress
it was freaking bloody ish red.
It was really close to thecolor of blood, like super close
to the color of blood.
Like I don't even know how youmake fabric close to the color
of blood, like super close tothe color of blood, like I don't
even know how you make fabricclose to the color of blood, but
just darker than blood.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yet people
continuously asked me why I'd
put you in a Sunday church dressand I'm like, uh, trust me, I
would make your Sunday churchdress out of better material
than I made that one out of,because I didn't even ask you.
Plus, aren't they tighter?
Yeah, well, a better materialthan I made that one out of
because I didn't even ask.
Yeah, well, I also didn'tcontact that.
That was one of the dressesthat we just went and got, I
think from Joanne's.
It may have been Hobby Lobby,it was cheapo depo fabric, yeah,
(09:58):
so nobody figured out it wasSnow White.
They all thought I just tossedyou in.
No, it says I'm not muted overhere.
Everyone was just like, hey,guess what?
You put Lita in a freakingSunday West dress and you're
like I'm Snow White.
Then the next year it made youwhat I thought was a cute and
adorable Hermione robe, remember, yeah, because it was.
It was, and I kid you not, ithad the cute little robe.
(10:18):
Yeah, or the cute little.
It wasn't that cute, okay, okay.
But that year was the year thatthey had.
Remember, we did that marathonat the movie theater down in El
Paso that year.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And my hair even
looked like Hermione's because
for some reason that was one ofthe freaking days when New
Mexico was freaking humid and Ilooked like let's just say that
was one of the first times mymom actually fought out hair.
I don't have to straighten thisfor fun.
Let's just say my hair isn't ascurly as Hermione's because
(10:53):
it's wavy hair, but so, help me,it looked like Hermione's hair.
Hermione's hair was not brown,but it looked like a gold, brown
, black combination.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, and when we had
, when you'd worn the same
outfit, with the cute littleschoolgirl dress that I made and
the cute little white button-upand the cute little vest, the
sweater vest and the cute littlerobe that I made, and I know
you did think it was cute and ithad you know being I was doing
it, I was being a girl boss, soit even had a cute little
(11:27):
Gryffindor patch on it.
Somewhere around here I'mputting up a picture of you in
it.
I thought you'll like it thatand maybe you don't see Hermione
, but you definitely see aGryffindor student.
And people came up to me andwent what is Lita for Halloween
this year?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Are all of you Except
my friends, because apparently
their parents never allowed themto watch the movie, because
apparently blood in a movie forchildren is wrong.
Yes, it was probably ratedPG-13.
Yes, I don't give a kid,because those were the best
movies and I can't really havenightmares.
(12:02):
Also, I looked at like acollege student.
Some people said, and to that Isay don't, it's me.
How to tell the person who madethe book what a child should
wear in middle school, I meanhigh school, don't, I'm pretty
sure?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
actually, with the
college quick thing.
That's actually what a lot ofBritish students wear to school
every single day.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Don't tell me how to
tell Britain what their students
should wear.
I mean, you tell Britain whattheir students should wear.
You talk up to Britain and saytheir children look like college
students.
See how they think.
I mean, don't think I'm one ofthe few ones Britain chooses to
put their students in.
I mean, I think they lookperfectly happy in those clothes
(12:48):
.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's something
you're going to wear, whether
you're at Eton, whether or notyou're at any of the big private
schools, whether or not you'reeven in a public school in
Britain.
You're going to wear the robes.
Now, what they do?
No, I mean, the robes are notsomething that the british are
wearing to schools.
Oh no, I met in the movies ohyeah, they look cool I met.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I met the child
actors in the movies.
I met.
They slayed, they slayed.
I met.
They slayed those robes.
They slayed those robes.
They freaking slayed thoserobes.
They freaking slayed Hermione,freaking slide.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I spent a lot of time
and a lot of money on that.
Like the only thing that wasnot handmade on that one was the
button, the button up shirt.
I didn't make the button upshirt or the sweater, vest or
the tie or the tie, because youhad the tie too.
But I made that robe and I madethat skirt and I think it
turned out great.
And the of people who were likewhat is Lita this year and it's
(13:46):
like Hogwarts any ideas?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
and they're like oh,
not my fault.
You don't know the bestfreaking book slash movie series
, anywho.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Uh, so the next year
for Christmas the year that you
went as Hermione for Halloweenyou wanted a Yule Ball dress for
Christmas, and so the next year, as a things came up, I didn't
have time to make you a costume.
So for Halloween, you wanted aYule Ball dress for Christmas,
and so the next year, as thingscame up, I didn't have time to
make you a costume.
So you got to go to Hermionetwo years in a row wearing this
costume that's going around heresomewhere.
I'm guessing right about there.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And I think one adult
told me that a child shouldn't
be dressed up as a 16-year-old.
And to that I say at least I'mnot dressing up like the 16 year
olds today.
At least I dressed up like a 16year old who knew At least
cover up certain areas Like thisstuff really close to our
panties, not to say all 16 yearolds dress up like that Just
(14:41):
about 16 year olds in moviesright now.
Yeah.
So at least I dressed up likesmell 16 year olds in movies
right now.
Yeah, at least I dressed uplike a 16 year old who wasn't
trying to get a boyfriendbecause she did not want to date
.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And to that, I say
Hermione, I love you.
She was dating in the books.
Lita, she was dating in thebooks, but I was talking about
Hermione from the movie, Okay.
But she did kind of go out withVictor, whatever his name is.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't like Victor.
She's a little better in thebook.
Then I slash like Victor.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, so then 2020,
you know, stuff happened, so
there was no costume Because wewere in a place where there was
no took or treating in 2020,weren't we?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
That's a place where
half of my childhood got taken
from me, but I can't tell adeceased whether to or whether
not to take my childhood.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah and then no, I
think there was no 2020,.
You're right, we did actuallyhave trick-or-treating and I
cannot find the.
We had one night oftrick-or-treating and I cannot
find the.
Uh, we had one night oftrick-or-treating actually two
nights because things went crazyin 2020, remember, because the
city said one night, and theneveryone did it on Halloween too
, because reasons, but you went.
(15:58):
This was one that made everyoneannoyed and I have pictures of
you and people told you you didnot, because 2019, so 2017 was
Snow White.
2018 was, uh, hermione.
2019 was Hermione.
2020 was you dressing up as asyncopated lady?
(16:24):
And what did you get told whenyou went to dance?
It was not a costume, becausethere were you.
You dressed up that year as asyncopated lady and got told why
he fell asleep.
Jack is not on puppy cam,because we both and he fell
asleep.
(16:45):
We both have no juice on ourphone and you said we can't get
a real puppy cam till we have102 subscribers, so just telling
people he can get like a gopropuppy cam when there's 102
youtube subscribers.
If you want the puppy cam anyAnywho, 2020, you had a
syncopated lady top and youdressed exactly like a
(17:05):
syncopated lady and thestatement I got told by multiple
of your dance teachers was Litawas supposed to dress in
costume this week and to that ifI knew I could say curse words
at that moment of time, I surelywould have.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Also, if she said
anything about me crying, I
didn't cry as much as she said Idid her dance one of your dance
teachers actually lectured youcongratulations.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
But one of your dance
teachers lectured you and then
cornered me and said lita wassupposed to wear a costume today
.
All the other other kids worecostume Where's hers?
And I went.
She dressed up as though shewas a member of the Syncopated
Ladies a you know professionaltap company she kind of likes
and the teacher one told me thatthat was not a costume and two
(17:52):
that I needed to help youunderstand.
There was no way you would everbe able to work with Chloe
Arnold, we're not even going totouch that one, but you were so
sad, like that entire weekbecause you went to dance Monday
, tuesday, wednesday, thursdayand you kept coming out crying
because every single one of yourteachers asked when you were
(18:13):
going to bring your Halloweencostume to dance.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Didn't listen to her
Over the crying.
Please don't listen to her,please, please, please, please,
please, please, please, please,please.
Didn't listen to her Over thecrime.
Please don't listen to her.
Please, please, please, please,please, please, please, please.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Please, the only,
okay, the only one that was kind
of funny was one of the dancelocal dance stores that we went
to.
Out there said it wasn't aHalloween costume because, quote
, lita's already going to be aprofessional tap dancer and
Halloween costumes are aboutfantasy, not about something
that's going to happen.
You're nodding your head, yes,but that one was the first time
(18:47):
you really cried on a Halloweencostume, because you were so
upset that everyone kept tellingyou it's just dance clothes,
it's not a costume.
Yeah, because I'm right.
Well, but I think that bringsup a very valid point.
Still, you shouldn't bully.
(19:12):
What if a kid couldn't haveafforded a Halloween costume?
What if you couldn't afford one?
Should dance teachers make abig deal out of the fact you
didn't wear a Halloween costume?
No, because you don't knowwhat's going on with that kiddo.
No, okay, so 2021.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Actually, some of
them did ask if we were poor.
What Lita Actually one did askif we were poor.
I mean they asked you if wewere poor.
I mean I'm pretty sure thathappened.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, one of your
teachers did ask me after that
if we were having money issuesand issues and I'm like, no, I
don't know if you're aware ofthis, but syncopated lady, and
it was not just like you had theshirt that said syncopated
ladies on it.
Okay, so I think those thingsdo not grow on trees, contrary
to popular belief of a fewpeople.
No, they do not.
On to the next one.
(19:53):
On to the next one.
Then the next year you went asSylvie from Loki, which we dyed.
We got the fabric that youcould handle.
We dyed it the right color.
I put together a cape and itwas Sylvie, like season one,
when she's in her green dealwith the cape and you know the
(20:14):
clasp and everything.
And everyone asked if you werea huntress.
Sylvie does look like one, shedoes.
It did make me also question ifyou were a huntress.
Sylvie does look like one, shedoes.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It did make me also
question if people were watching
Loki at all.
I question their Norsemythology, because that's surely
?
Opposite of what they wouldreally wear.
They don't wear hoards.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Hoards for the ones
who do wear hoards, but this is
Disney, and Disney is going tobe unique and different than
everything, as you know.
So that was what 2021, you andSylvie.
2022 was EW, edie, edie fromGreen Eggs and Ham.
How did that?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
one go over Alita.
Nobody knew who I was.
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no one,no one knew who you were.
Nobody at all, nobody, nobody,no one nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
What is this weird
costume you're wearing?
And it's like but I'm eb fromgreen eggs and ham and people
were like what is green eggs andham?
And you're like it's a coolkids show and they were like I
thought it was just a dr seussbook.
You always find great showsthat like the next.
I saw so many little EBs thenext year Because Green Eggs and
(21:23):
Ham had become popular.
I also saw a lot of Sylvie thenext year too.
The year after you went as LadyLoki.
I saw so many Sylvie's outthere as Lady Loki.
The problem is you'retrendsetting and you do things
the year before.
They're popular on some thingsnot with the Hermione, but the
Hermione one You're gonna sayit's gonna be the same with the
(21:44):
costume I'm going, as this year.
Yeah well, we haven't gotten tothat costume yet.
Last year you were what BananaRanger.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Banana Yellow Rainbow
.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Rain.
Sorry, I didn't watch thecartoon series.
I'm not saying you can't, butlike everyone kept coming up to
me going, oh, is she a yellowdaffodil?
I can't, the costume will be uphere somewhere.
It was the best I could do tolook almost exactly like it,
especially since you know I haveto create all of your costumes
(22:16):
due to your sensory issues.
Can't just go get a CheapoDepot costume at Party City.
Now can I.
And you are glaring into thecamera at all those people who
had no clue who you were.
But the other thing is, becauseyou're dancing in these things,
you have to go trick or treatingin them.
You have to go to Boo in theZoo in them.
You have to be able to dance inthem.
You have to go to all thesetrunk or treats in them.
You have to be able to tap inthem.
(22:37):
I can't just go to Party City.
You destroy one of those CheapoDeepl costumes and by the time
we get to the point we're payingdecent money for them one.
You keep coming up withsomething unique where they're
not at Party City that year orTarget.
Next year they'll be at PartyCity or Target, but this year oh
no.
By the way, I heard there'sBanana Ranger costumes at Party
(22:58):
City from someone.
I heard there's Banana Rangercostumes at Party City from
someone.
You're leaking me, Bonanza,sorry.
I heard that those costumes arethere this year and getting a
preteen look or a teenager look,and she's going to break her
microphone from how hard she'sgripping it right now.
So you want to tell everyonewhat you're going as this year
the main character from UnicornAcademy, sophia, also, I
(23:22):
probably need hair extensions.
You need hair extensions.
When did this come in?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
She has this little
purple line in her hair because
her unicorn has a purple line inher hair and their hair kind of
matches their unicorn.
So they have a line which iseither the color of their
unicorns here or the line that'sin their unicorns here, because
they have to match theirunicorn thank you for telling me
(23:47):
this in september and not likefive minutes before we're
running out the door for purplehair extension.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, I will be
online getting that, because I
don't do purple hair extensions.
Can I just do a clip-in purplehair extension?
Is that okay?
And I'm getting a nod?
Yes, yay, I can do purple hairclip-in.
Okay, that's helpful.
And you were going to let mebuy the leggings this year,
hopefully, right?
Yes, are you going to say thatinto your mic?
(24:14):
No, no, and we have to do thepost-unicorn and not the
pre-unicorn, correct?
What you said post-unicorn iswhen she gets that purple pair
of pants and the shirt.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
No, it's when they go
through the port.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Those two have a
connection with the unicorns.
See, I saw some with her in asparkly teal shirt and jeans.
When does that happen After shegoes through the portal?
So we're doing, but you want todo the one with the like three
colors on the shirt and thepurple pants, correct, yes, okay
, when does that that happen?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
pre-portal, then
that's just you binge watch this
show.
You just freaking binge watchthis show.
I really just need to startmaking you.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Just watch the
freaking show let you know when
I have time to binge watch theshow.
How about that?
You will?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
make time, I will
make you drop everything.
It's a good darn Brazilian show.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
It's a Brazilian show
, of course, but you're just
going to use your normal boots,I don't have to go buy you
riding boots right, yes, but theriding boots are not.
You've got Like there's adifference now between riding.
I think just use my normal boots.
Okay, good, jackie Poo hasdecided he is stretching.
He thought the only one reallywas boots.
Boots are fine.
It's just whether or not I haveto make you boots, Because
(25:45):
sometimes I've had to try andmake you shoes on top of your
shoes, and that's fun as all Getout.
Let me tell you, like last year, you needed a specific look for
your shoe, wasn't it last yearor the year before?
Yeah, wasn't it Last year orthe year before?
Yeah, and so I had to make.
I had to make like a dancers doand have like those fake shoes
on there, and that was fun, yeah.
(26:05):
So there there's that.
And once more, it has to begood enough, because Halloween
week is costume week at autisticwings dance company.
If your kid doesn't likewearing costumes, do they have
to wear costumes?
Lita, yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Doesn't like wearing
costumes, do?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
they have to wear
costumes, lita.
No, just, we would like them tobe something the kiddos can
move in, correct, lita?
Uh-huh, and we will be havingspecial treats that like candy
and non-candy, because you know,teal pumpkin for the studio,
correct, lita?
Yeah, do you know what tealpumpkin is?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay, so a teal
pumpkin is a pumpkin you can set
out saying you have sensoryfriendly and allergy friendly
things like sticker, rolls ofstickers or erasers or pencils
or you know, those little funstampy things that every parent
hates.
Non-candy stuff, so that kidswith dietary restrictions or
(27:06):
food sensory issues don't getupset when all they get is stuff
they can't eat.
Because, like you know me andHalloween, how much fun is
Halloween candy for mommy?
Can I say this?
Yeah, I mean, because I have amassive soy allergy and all the
food we have brought in to give,even like your ring pops, have
so many in them.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, me thinking you
know what, If this person is
going to try to kill my motherto die, I'm hoping my mother
said something and then it'slike you say nothing and then I
just say I have this sweet cat'shouse.
You tried to kill my mother,even though she has a sore
allergy.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
When people ask why
these lovely things candy corn
are my favorite.
I love candy corn.
Yes, because you have a motherwho's allergic to soy and this
is the only Halloween candy Ican eat.
Can you follow me some candycorn?
I'm concerned that I would hiteverything.
Besides, don't you have likeoreos over there with you?
Candy corn is better than oreo.
Just a kiddo who has a motherwith soy allergy.
(28:06):
See, that's what I thoughtwould happen.
I hit the computer.
It's a good thing that that isa government surplus computer
that we spent like $200 onbecause your dad was about to
kill me, so I'm going slime Ifthey're wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I was concerned about
the candy corn and not the
computer, I think you need to beconcerned about the $200
computer he bought you.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
