Pumpkins

When we went to pick up 'Little Fink', Mr Fink opened the door to the Scout hut and phew, the smell of pumpkin was overpowering. The Cubs were all dressed up in various Halloween costumes - there were skeletons, Frankensteins, wizards, a headless man and a scarecrow. Each child was either wet through on their head (apple bobbing), covered in goo (find the melting marshmallow in the warm custard), or sticky (pumpkin carving). They looked like they had a great time. One of 'Little Fink's friends from camp came up to me and told me the highlight of his night…
“Someone got taken to hospital... he stabbed himself in the hand with a knife... there was loads of blood... I think he broke a bone in his hand as well... or something” blood thirsty little sod!
