I’m stealing the story, but, I met someone visiting from Nepal. It was around October, so all the pumpkins were out. He asked me in confidence, “Why do Americans worship an orange fruit?”

No, I tried to explain the concept of trick or treating, which was weird. The best I could come up with is that it is pretty much a costume party holiday where kids get candy from strangers and adults don’t get the day off, and cheap field crops become cheap decorations

Did you roll with it? And tell him about our Pumpkin God??????
