User blog:Scout Sunset/A thing that keeps on getting on my nerves

I'm THIS CLOSE to being annoyed when I hear the phrase "Child's Play".

As we all know, Halloween is just around the corner, and tomorrow is the day of the Halloween Disco at my school. While everyone is going to dress up as some horror movie character or (god forbid) a Fortnite skin, I'm going to dress up as the one and only Chuckie Finster from Rugrats.

The problem is that whenever I say that I'm going to dress up as Chuckie Finster, people just don't hear the 'Finster' part and just misinterpret it as "I'm going to dress up as Chucky." This situation happened twice: once when I was in the car going somewhere, and when I was about to leave the classroom. I might as well tell you all what happened.

Back then, I had no idea who I should dress up as for the disco, until one day at school when I've finally decided to dress up as Chuckie Finster. Anyways, I was in the car with my parents and my little brother. I tell my parents that I was going to dress up as Chuckie, and they liked it. My mom said "We have an old striped shirt in the house from when you were a baby." (I thought she was talking about the blue striped shirt in the house that I originally wanted to use) And then someone (maybe my dad) mentioned Child's Play. Needless to say, I burst out, yelling that I was dressing up as Chuckie Finster.

The other scenario just happened today. When we were about to leave school, I told my teacher, "You wanna know who I'm dressing up as for Halloween?" He said yes, and I told him, "Chuckie Finster". The room was loud, but it was still annoying when he responded with "Now that's really scary", of course referring to Chucky from Child's Play. I didn't have time to tell him that I was going to dress up as Chuckie Finster. Shortly after some of my classmates told me who I was going to dress up as. The cycle mentioned two times before repeats, but at least in the end, they knew about Rugrats and had a little "OOOOOOH, now I see!".

I don't really have anything else to add here so thanks for reading, and happy Halloween!
