My mom, a lovely woman, said to me recently that "no one makes their own Halloween costumes for their kids anymore". (It wasn't like a lament, just a statement.) Days later pictures of my friends' children in largely home made costumes poured into my WhatsApp.

What changed isn't the world, but the community my mom lives in - she just projected it onto the world. She grew up on a family farm in a tiny town. Now she lives in a well off suburb.

which brings me to a question.
