I was walking down the street last week when I heard a little voice shout, "Look, Mommy! A vampire!" I turned to see a little girl boggling at my goth garb. Ooh, black and shiny! Absolutely *fascinating!*
Yes, I'm a big hit among the local six year olds.
Do kids ever come up to you and say funny stuff? Mistake you for a zombie? Ask if you're dead? And do you tell them the truth, or play along to amuse them?

Yesterday a little girl (I'm guessing she was about six or so) saw me, then turned to her mom and said "Wow... she's so pretty! I want to look pretty like her!" and oddly enough her mother said "Yes, she is very pretty.". That really threw me off, because I was in full goth regalia (lacy black velvet dress, unserbust corset, boots, etc.) and normally the only people to compliment me on my attire are teen-aged to college-aged people, or other goths. Haha... but I suppose part of it was that I was in Salem (the location of the whole witch hysteria of 1692), and there tend to be quite a few goths wandering around that town. It's a really nice place though. The shopping is good (they have a store that carries Heavy Red clothing! Squee!), there are tons of museums, and it's a very beautiful and historic town.

This has nothing to do with gothy-nessm but once when I had a choir festival, and we had stopped somewhere to eat, some friends and I were walking to some fastfood joint in our choir gowns, and this little kid asked if we were princesses. Also, I was once in a medeival-type play, and I had made my costume to look like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and someone's little sister thought I was Belle. ^^ so cute!

Somthing similar to that happened to me once. I was the Wicked Witch of the West in a school production of the Wizard of Oz back in 6th grade, and I remember that when me and the rest of the cast were fooling around before the play, a little kid somehow found his way backstage to where the cast was hanging out, and thought I was the real witch of the west, so he ran off crying. I felt so bad for him. sad

Wow that's funny. Nope, no one's ever mistaken me for a vampire unfortunately.

Oh but now that I think about it, I have been called goth by everyone in my family pretty much. I take it as a compliment even though that is NOT how they mean it, I am sure.

My nephew, who's three, always has something weird to say to me. Like a couple days ago, he said told his mom "Rachel looks like a ghost!" I was sick a couple days ago, and amazingly pale, and he was watching Scariest Places on Earth that I recorded last year, so yeah.

Aw, that's cute.
I don't get little kids saying stuff. I think there are enough people who dress alternatively in my city for kids not to give a s**t.

I have to say, I'm rarely given compliments, except I did get one from a small child the other day about how he loved my pants and wanted a pair. (Black and green stich Tripp pants). A few times I've gotten compliments about how people like my over coat (you could say it is a trench coat but not exactly)..and a few of those have come from the adminstrators at my school.
While I've never been mistaken for a vampire, One time,I was called a werewolf. Which makes me happy, because I've always watned to be one.
