Pumpkin carving with teens turns into a family joke

Original: Me: we're going to get some pumpkins from the grocery patch what size do you want to carve? 17: get me a big one 16: he

A solo parent of two teenagers shared a light moment from Halloween preparations. After asking her 17- and 16-year-olds what size pumpkins they wanted to carve, the younger one cracked a joke about liking them big, leaving the parent amused and slightly exasperated. She says raising two teens on her own is intense, but at least it comes with plenty of laughter.

Why now: The relatable humour of parenting teenagers during Halloween season is resonating with other parents.

• Me: we're going to get some pumpkins from the grocery patch what size do you want to carve? 17: get me a big one 16: he likes em big like he likes his men. While I'm heart attacking over parenting solo two (very cool but still) teens, at least I'll be laughing on my way out. #… · starstuft · 2
