Well, it’s that time of year again—Pumpkin Season. This is the time when literally EVERYONE is out buying pumpkins. Regardless of your politics, religion, race, or whatever, you feel compelled to join the crowd and put pumpkins in your shopping cart.
We haul them home, put them on our front porches, festoon our homes with these bright orange balls, carve them into faces, and then throw them away. Do we eat pumpkins? Certainly not—it’s too much work! We just buy the puree in cans and completely waste the whole pumpkins.
But it goes beyond the squashes. We also want everything that’s pumpkin seasoned or scented: Cookies, cakes, pies, candies, popcorn, milkshakes, pancakes, syrup, granola, car wash soap, lotion, candles, body wash, room spray—the list is endless.
We have consented to participate in this Pumpkinpalooza, simply by growing up. It’s what you do. Calling an end to this madness would be inhuman—like deliberately becoming a zombie. And then we dress up as zombies—or other ridiculous costumes—and run around begging for candy.
It’s simply
what we do.
