death by pumpkin

So Rae Ann and I have this pumpkin just rotting away on our balcony, left from halloween. Why we didn't throw it out in the first place I'm not sure..I think it was already starting to rot inside our sweltering apartment and we were too grossed out to carry it down the stairs. So, being the smart people we are, we stuck it outside on the balcony. It is now a pile of mush in a plastic grocery bag, its rotten juices spreading over the balcony and dripping down the edge. Now we're really too grossed out to carry it down to the dumpster. We've thought about kicking it off our third floor balcony, but I could foresee that being not such a great idea....it could maybe hit someone in the head on the ground below, or hit my car or something. Will someone please come and remove this disgusting thing for us??

    I must confess that I think it was actually my idea to put it on the balcony, but I thought that it would freeze and then could be carried out to the dumpster with little smell and no drips. Little did I know that we would have spring in December! Maybe Sam could be conned into doing the dastardly deed. Sorry Sam!

    Actually I am sorry that I suggested Sam... OK, I'll do it next week when we are in (since I got you into this mess. What are mothers for anyway. I've taken care of worse!! I'm surprised one of those big fat ravens hasn't found it and carried it away.
