The answer is NO.

So, "Exile in Boyville."

Case in point.....

It froze last night, and Alec and I stepped outside this morning to survey the damage to our lovely big pumpkins. One had, sure enough, turned wrinkly on the top side, and the bottom side had become wet, shingly pumpkin squoosh.
Alec's immediate reaction was, "Wow! Can I sit in it?"

Now, really.

I grew up as the oldest of three sisters. We took part in our share of tree-climbing and snake-catching and whatnot, but I think I can speak for all of us that it would never have crossed our minds to want to sit in a huge, rotten pumpkin.  I think I can speak for virtually every female I have ever met. These little people come from a different planet.
