Dear Jack,

I suppose this makes the first fall season where you opted not to decorate a pumpkin. I guess that’s “little kids’ stuff” by now.

But I will say, I feel you definitely had an indirect effect on how your sister decorated the pumpkin I carved for her.

She innocently started out by deciding to draw some extra features on the pumpkin, like eyebrows and circles for cheeks. Then she decided to give it a pig nose.

From there, things certainly began to go downhill, as she drew boogers coming from its nose.

The potty humor creativity must have really been flowing, because after that, she drew underwear for the pumpkin; accompanied with steaming poop… on the outside, for some reason.

Granted, you didn’t even see her work on the pumpkin until after she finished it- and I truly believe much of her inspiration was to make you laugh, knowing you have always had a reputation in our family for turning everything into potty humor.

So yeah, I give you the credit for inspiring your sister to choose to decorate her Halloween pumpkin, accordingly.

Love,

Daddy
