Scary Lionman!

Well, today whilst out and about buying Easter Eggs for some folks, I saw, to my horror, what can only be described as a man dressed up as a lion. Now usually I don't see many people dressed up and so I am not plagued with a fear to go down the shops and face men in costumes. Today was no different, I hadn't considered this possibility. So you can probably imagine the look of pure shock and horror when I turned the corner to see this atrocity.

The Lionman was parading around, cornering helpless little children and giving them sweets. Now I don't know about you but I was told never to speak to or accept things off strangers. Just because this man was dressed up as a lion, this vital piece of advice seems to have been thrown out the window, stomped on and ignored by all the smiling parents.

I know that I am 16 this year and therefore likely to be ignored by costumed folk but honestly, I feel so ashamed of my sneaky tactics of deception as I crossed to the other side of the room and practically ran past the overly hairy beast who was handing some poor poor child something sparkly and golden.

I do however, have something that I feel is important to point out. So I figured that this lion was handing children little chocolate eggs and that may seem acceptable for this time of year, what with Easter being only a few days away but WHAT has a lion got to do with Easter? It's like they ran out of Bunny costumes and said 'Here you go, you can be a lion for the day. The kids'll never notice.' Well I noticed.

Anyway, I felt that this was a necessary blog to type as today I had to relive my fear of people dressed up in costumes, something that I thought I would not have to face again for a long time...
