Seems as though Nana doesn't know it all!

The boys were visiting the other day and we got talking about Halloween.  They go trick and treating in our subdivision; it's a tradition it turns out.  We don't mind.  I stay in handing out candy and Grandad, parents and boys go around the neighbourhood.

Asked the 4 year old what he wanted to be and he announced Baby Shark.  Which puzzled everyone as he is mad about Spidey.  I would guess he'll be Spidey as that outfit is easier to find.

Asked the 7 year old what he wanted to be and he announced a CHICKEN JOCKEY......I'm sorry....what?  After much back and forward and his mother looking up on google to show me, it's a Minecraft "thing."  When I saw what it was, I told his mother to get crafting that!!  She doesn't do crafts, so I told the 7 year old he needed a back up plan and he said a skeleton.  So I told him there was a better chance of him being a skeleton, than a chicken jockey...LOL

Now I know you are all dying to see what a chicken jockey looks like!!  Here you go:


And how have I never known about this!

That looks like it would have to be quite the costume lol!
I honestly don't know a lot about baby shark either only that granddaughter likes to make the motions with her hands while her mum sings the song lol.

I haven’t heard about a chicken jockey either. 😂 Since my daughter is grown, I’m clueless about all these things now. I have no idea who Baby Shark or Spidey are either. 😂

I have a son who loved playing Minecraft, so of course we had to watch the movie. :D But yeah, a chicken jockey wouldn't be an easy costume. Hopefully your grandson will agree to spiderman or a skeleton.

All the best Jan

I'm glad to know the term chicken jockey. Now I'll have something to talk to the 8-year-old grandson about!

A chicken jockey - who knew! I've never seen much of Minecraft but I know our grandsons are into it so it's a wonder I haven't heard about it from them.
