Halloween planning

the boyfriend: So Jess, what are you going to be for Halloween this year?

me: Dead cheerleader. Yourself?

the boyfriend: I don't know. I was going to be Roy [of Zeigfried & Roy], but I don't know. I think everyone's going to be that.

me: Umm... I really don't think everyone is going to be Roy.

the boyfriend: [skeptical silence, doubtful glance]

me: Remember last year when you said everyone was going to be Hunter S. Thompson and that's why you couldn't?

the boyfriend: Everyone was!*

*Everyone was not.
