How to make a good^H^H^H^H halfway-decent The Cheat costume
Get 6 yards of yellow raincoat fabric from Walmart where it's on sale for a dollar a yard.
Sew 4 yards of it into a gigantiferous poncho.
Hang it from the shower curtain. Borrow roommate's acrylic paint and paintbrush, and paint black spots on one side.
Take empty cardboard box from portable floor-scrubber thingy. Paint yellow with other roommate's acrylic paint. Borrow black paint again to make spots on back. Cut styrofoam plate into little tuft-thing. Paint on mouth.
Let dry. Realize that mouth has run. Re-do with black nail polish.
Find round black sunglasses.
(Optionally, paint face yellow, with black lipstick for mouth and a circle-thingy on chin. ) (I didn't.)
Watch 7-year-old flip out of his mind with joy. Hear him insist on borrowing it. Watch him fall over when he trips on the layers. Have him borrow belt. Put sunglasses on him and have him go show Mommy.
