Well nobody told me that a jack-o-lantern will decompose into a soggy mess within 3 days of lighting a candle inside it!
We thought we were so ahead of the game by carving out our big pumpkin last Monday. I gutted the gourd and roasted its delectable seeds while Kentaro carved out a terrific design, and we put it, lit, on display in our window, chuffed that we were all prepared for trick-or-treaters come this Wednesday.
By yesterday the thing was growing a forest of mould inside, and the outside was buckling and seeping ooze which threatened to overflow onto the floor. It earned itself an untimely date with the dumpster. D'oh!!!
Kentaro is still armed for Wednesday night with a black cat and a truckload of candy (I will be at work, of course, leaving him to fend off the deluge of kids that will no doubt come a-knockin').
