Reddit user @kitz2103 shared his 'Wizard of Oz'-inspired homemade costume to cheer up his wife who suffers from a chronic illness.

A loving and very creative husband took to Reddit to show off the Wizard of Oz-themed costume he made for his bedbound wife, and the internet lost its collective mind.

Reddit user @kitz2103 explained that his wife, Dianna Cowern (aka The Physics Girl), loves Halloween, but a chronic illness had left her unable to leave bed to celebrate. So he brought the celebration to her.


He wrote:

"My wife has been bedridden with a severe illness, but she loves to dress up for Halloween. So I made this costume for her."
"Seeing her smile made the under the fingernail cardboard paper cut almost worth it."

The man noted that he made the costume, but the idea was all his wife's. Since she's bedridden, she decided to dress as The Wicked Witch... of the East. Yes, the one that got crushed by a house.

The photos showed striped stockings and ruby red slippers peeking out from under a cardboard house that had clearly been battered by a harsh tornado landing.

Viewers were just as blown away as the house that flattened the witch.

By the looks of it, we'd say she approved!

Cowern's husband also posted pics, on her behalf, to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, where she has been open about her struggle with long Covid.

Viewers there were equally impressed.

Just fantastic. Well done!

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
