Priceless. Well, except for the part about the teenage daughter being embarrassed by her parents. I am living that part of life now. Godspeed and good luck. And I would bet she loved the pumpkins if she "hadn't had sooooo much homework or hair to wash." I think the part I like the best is measuring the gourd to the face. Using the stem worked very well. I think Sharon selectes pumpkins to give Charles a challendge. The Apples do gourds.

It's a country) and my local co-worker decided to invite the resident Halloween expert--me-- to her kid's pumpkin carving party. Seems she'd been in the US during Halloween and wanted to import a bit of it back to Moldova (yep. already told you. It IS a country). When the carving began I went outside to check everything out. I saw this: Parents talking in groups; small kids with big knives. I don't have kids so that usually works against me when trying to give advice to parents. But I couldn't help myself. I said to the one standing closest "That's a pretty sharp knife. You think we should, uh, help him?" "No," said the parent. "They practiced yesterday."

“No,” said the parent. “They practiced yesterday.”

So I guess this would be Apples celebrating apples?
