Shopping with kids in general is difficult. But shopping with kids for Halloween carving pumpkins is downright painful.
Due to the rain we’ve had in Seattle this week, I decided that walking through a muddy pumpkin patch was not the best idea. I tried to picture myself pulling four kids in an over-sizedwagon as we plucked fresh pumpkins from one of many farms in the area. But all I could imagine was mud-covered children and squished pumpkins littering the path, not to mention an angry farmer demanding payment for each dropped pumpkin.
So I did what any father would do in such a situation, knowing how disappointed my children will be: I bribed them with milk shakes. To be more specific, I told my children that if they would cooperate and not hit each other while Iselected pumpkins at the grocery store, I would take them for a milk shake.
Their cooperation lasted a total of 20 seconds.
“Hey Dad, can we get this one?”
“I want one of the fat ones!”
“Can I carve a big one AND a small one?”
It was absolute chaos.
One child jumped into the large bin, and was tossing pumpkins to his sibling. Another was tossing smaller white pumpkins into the shopping cart. And one disappeared through to the automaticdoors to see what Disney movies were available on the Red Box kiosk.
Forty minutes later, I had six pumpkins in the cart. That doesn’t count the ones my son rolled down the aisle towards the produce section. 29 cents a pound no longer felt like a bargain.
I’ve learned my lesson. Next year mom is responsible for pumpkin procurement.
