You see pumpkins this time of year wearing toothy grins while lounging about suburban porches, but I fail to see anything grin-worthy about having your innards scooped out through a hole in your head, then having a candle shoved into your hollowed-out shell.
But for just a day or two the jacks of the lanterns shine in the deepest darkness, which I like to consider quite unique for a vegetable.
i thought rather “shoved in through your bottom” but then maybe that’s just me.
