Who ever decided this was fun?
It's messy, sticky, fiddly, sweaty and really really fucking hard
And now it's something else that's become a competition, so a traditional scary face isn't good enough, oh no we need Spiderman and Darth Vader and Mona Lisa and the fucking Taj Mahal
Plus!
The kids can't even do it and inevitably get bored of watching me hack at a pumpkin muttering about "fucking Halloween" so they tootle off playing and I'm sat alone in the kitchen surrounded by innards trying to create a piece of art on a fucking vegetable wondering what the hell happened to my life
I fucking hate carving fucking bastard pumpkins
