Time: 12:35 am
Location: Ceramic tile floor between the kitchen and the family room.
Report: My sister and I were sitting on the couch in the family room when we heard a loud crash. Looking up, we were surprised to see both cats lounging nearby. We got up to see what had happened, and we saw this:
Our beautiful Thanksgiving centrepiece had imploded, its rotten core no longer able to hold itself up on the little iron legs.
The smell was just . . . oh my god, it was awful.
Look at the fluids pooling underneath him, spreading towards the stairs.
When I tried to transfer the pumpkin to a garbage bag, it started to disintegrate in my hands. The insides were almost completely black. And did I mention the horrendous smell?
The Lesson: Once you pierce a pumpkin with decorative iron stakes, it will rot. Now you know.
