The Pumpkin and the Midnight Affair

While planting our garden, Mother came across two pumpkin seeds. She decided to plant them in a random bit of dirt in one of our flower beds, and one of the seeds did very well. I was excited about the prospect of a home grown pumpkin for Halloween.

On Saturday, I came home to this:

What?


That's it? It's just done growing? Did we have an earthquake that caused the pumpkin to be torn from it's umbilical cord? Why is it on the step? AND, why is it shaped so funny?


I don't know. I don't know any of the answers to my questions. I do know, however, that my nail polish is one week old and still looking great.
