Would the mom of an 6-year-old allow this costume?

Question

Yeah, so, I'm planning to go as Alex from A Clockwork Orange(yes, I'm a girl) since I have just about everything I need for the costume, but I've already agreed to go trick-or-treating with a 6-year-old girl that I babysit sometimes(her mother is VERRRRY religious and MIGHT not take too kindly to little Alex). Should I dress as someone less....sociopathic, or will it be okay? I'm going with my friends later at night, so I can just change into Alex after I'm done with the little girl.

Answer 1

I doubt it'll matter what you're dressed as. I'm sure there are a lot more stranger costumes than that :]

Maybe she won't even know who you're supposed to be.

Answer 2

Always know your audience and adapt when your interests are at stake.

Answer 3

Well, on the one hand, yeah, that's a pretty violent character to act like around a six year old;

On the other hand, it's very likely that the Mom has never SEEN that movie.

Answer 4

Well, I would normally just say to go as you originally planned, but you are in charge of someone else's daughter. Although Alex is a pretty neat, and to normal people, a harmless costume, her mother may not want her to be seen with someone who is dressed like a psychopath from one of the biggest cult hits of all time. Here's simple.

I am assuming you are wearing a top hat, a white suite stright jacket thingy, and carrying a cane. If you wear a read long coat, and a some purple things under it, you could go as Johnny Depp's version of Willy Wonka. He's pretty creepy, but friendly.
