I got home from work today, hauled the pumpkins into the house, and Rob and I did the World’s Fastest Carving Job. In the midst of it all, Rob somehow managed to step barefoot on a piece of broken glass which was kind of … bad. There was so much blood! But he managed to staunch the flow so he carried on with his carving. He carved a couple of horns and stuck them on with toothpicks. You know, like you do. Mine was just your run-of-the-mill Jack-o-Lantern.
We got quite a few trick-or-treaters (no tricks so far, only treats) including my two nephews who were the cutest little guys.
The most interesting time though was when a group of mothers brought their little ones around to our house. One mom saw Rob’s pumpkin and said “I have never seen HORNS on a PUMPKIN before!” I kind of smiled and made “uh huh” sounds, because I was busily in the midst of distributing Rockets to the tiny Barbarian hordes. But as they walked away, I heard that same lady saying “That’s Satanic! Why would they bring that kind of thing into a nice Christian holiday?”
