I've never thought of calling it Parent Tax. Very clever. I'll have to remember that.
The toothbrush giver must have been a dentist. lol
Fun post and great photo! Love the parent tax concept :)

My twins girls are going to both be Indian princesses this year (I mean, Native American princesses). I ALWAYS wanted this costume when I was a kid and I think I even made one once out of a decorated paper bag, but it wasn't the same, in my girly eyes).
Trying to picture a gum on shoe costume????
I always charge a parent tax, too. Those kids get way too much candy. It isn't good for them. ;)
Totally love your stats! :) One of the best costumes I ever saw was my college roommate's sister - she came as road kill! :)
I guess I haven't been a dad long enough. I didn't know about the parent tax.
I must not have been a daddy long enough. I didn't know about the "parent tax". But in my defense, my kids always try to give me some of their candy and I usually turn it down. I don't like candy as much these days.
