The thing I don’t like about Jack-o’-lantern pumpkins is they have to be discarded after Halloween. The bigger they are, the more room they take up in the garbage bin which is already full when it is picked up. (Cooking pumpkins are much smaller.)

Arlo seems blissfully unaware of his predicament. Later that evening: “Is something the matter, Janis?” “No. I just have a headache.”
