Welp, it's that time of year again. The time when it is for some reason customary to carve a cliched cartoon face with triangle eyes into an orange squash and put a candle in it. Why is it so cute when Sophie says "punkin" instead of pumpkin? Where does the word "pumpkin" come from? We all know what the word "pump" means, and what "kin" means, so it would appear to me that pumpkin nomenclature is derived from the ancient Druid ritual of discovering one's ancestors by cranking the pump near the well and drawing up some kin. Sophie and I carved her first pumpkin tonight, and she was riveted by every cut.
I took a time lapse of the event...
