Remember those days when you were young when you started to see pumpkins in front of doors and houses as your neighbors prepared for their Halloween festivities? Remember the one kid who always thought it was a good idea to go around and smash a few of those pumpkins? We all know that smashing pumpkins is a bad idea. It’s mean and it ruins children’s days and wastes the hard earned money spent on those pumpkins. It also makes a big mess. Yet, somehow, we do it anyways. We do it because we’re young and impressionable and, well, the leader of the group said it was a good idea and he’s pretty cool so you want to be cool, too.
