You Throw Like a Girl

Someone decided to share a pumpkin with us.

We often get beer bottles thrown at the church from passing cars, which I pick up and throw away when I get the mail each day (once we had a six pack of empty bottles inside our mailbox). But this week we got a pumpkin thrown into our yard… or at least toward our yard. The offending gourd was basketball sized and barely cleared the ditch, where it broke into several pieces. Whoever tossed it underestimated how much strength it would take to launch the pumpkin toward a more visible part of our property. Wimps.

As near as I can tell it wasn't carved or inscribed in any way but it was a nasty, gooey mess. So I left it in the ditch for the birds and animals – it's biodegradable after all.
