I hate carving pumpkins. Always have. So I don't do it. Here are
some do's and don'ts for people like me.
Don't
- Skip the pumpkin carving tradition
- Buy a fake lit up pumpkin
- Tell your kids pumpkins are poisonous
Do
- Reward yourself for effort (one glass of wine per facial
feature carved)
- Drive the kids to the pumpkin patch and nap in the car while
they find the perfect pumpkin
- Engage someone else to take on the pumpkin carving tradition
with your kids
- Coerce your spouse to carve with the kids (a shot of whiskey
here perhaps?)
