Parents Are Turning The ‘6-7’ Trend Into Cheap Halloween Costumes, And Their Kids Are Absolutely Mortified

Kids everywhere have been saying “6-7” nonstop for months, and now their parents are getting revenge this Halloween. Moms and dads are dressing up as the numbers 6 and 7, and their children are not happy about it.

According to Daily Dot, the phrase sounds like “six seven” when you say it out loud, but it does not mean anything at all. Even though there is no real reason behind it, kids have been using it constantly at school and on the playground. The whole thing started with a song called Doot Doot by rapper Skrilla that went viral last year. In one part of the song, he says “6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip).”

For Halloween this year, parents decided to make the easiest costume ever based on this trend. All you need to do is get two matching shirts or sweaters and put the number 6 on one and the number 7 on the other. Douglas A. Boneparth, who works as a financial advisor, shared a picture with his wife wearing their “6-7” sweaters on X. He wrote “Our kids hate our Halloween costume” along with the photo.

When Parents Start Copying Your Trend, You Know It’s Over

Teachers got tired of hearing “6-7” pretty quickly because kids started yelling it in the middle of class. Some teachers even tried to ban it completely from their classrooms, while others started saying it themselves hoping the kids would stop. But the phrase kept getting more popular because it can mean whatever you want it to mean, which is why kids think it is so funny.

Now parents on the internet are saying the costume idea is brilliant because it is a simple way to join in on the joke while also making it less cool. Plus, it barely takes any work to put together and it is funny enough that people will still give you candy. Some parents are buying ready-made versions online, while others are just using paint or iron-on numbers to make their own. The easy setup is perfect timing as Halloween celebrations continue across the country.

One person who saw Boneparth’s post commented “it is the best way to kill a meme.” Someone else replied with “thank you for your service.” Most parents seemed excited about this plan to finally end the trend that has been driving them crazy. It looks like the plan might actually work.

One confused parent asked online “wait can you explain the meme to me my kids wont stop saying six seven but i have no idea what’s going on.” By wearing the costume and acting like they think it is cool, parents are doing exactly what makes trends die faster, which is getting older people interested in them. As families get ready for Halloween festivities, more and more parents are choosing the “6-7” costume as a quick and funny option.
