It's just a joke! Sorry. Tone is hard over text. It was a joke, though. I really didn't mean it in a mean way.
That's too bad! I've been a zombie before, yeah. I've had a lot of great costumes. My whole family is really into dressing up and theatrics, so there have been a lot of years where we were all themed, and others where we just competed with each other. We take Halloween very seriously.
That's fun! That was a really nice thing for your dad to do, and it's great that it's left this touching memory.
