impy | 31 Days of October, Day 14: Pumpkin Patch (Reply)

We went to the pumpkin patch today. You all are to remind me next year that I don't wish to go back. It's overpriced and I never pick a good day to go. Today was too hot and buggy and while we found four lovely pumpkins, I am miffed that despite the sign saying $3-$10, Widget picked... a $12 pumpkin. If it had been *my* pumpkin, I would have laughed and said, "no." But it was his, so I bit down on my irritation and paid the money.

Not next year, though.

Cass and Widget also did some gem mining.

And I inadvertently got Widget into friend trouble. Cass arranged for two boys Widget had met before to be there so he'd have someone to hang out with. Despite the fact that last time he hung out with the younger one, this time he hung out with the older one. He wanted to buy S a Ring Pop (he wanted one, too) and D was still on the hayride so I didn't think anything of it at the time. I had Widget check with S's mom to make sure candy was okay and it was, so off he ran. By the time he'd come back, D was done with the hayride and they all went off to gem mine for a bit. Widget comes back, looking awfully dejected, because S gave his 'pop to D.

Later, as we're leaving, S and his mom appear and S sort of apologizes, but then nullifies it with "you should've asked ME, not my mom." So I felt a bit weird since that was *my* fault, but also I remembered this is the kid who trashed someone else's apartment and was not all that fun the last time I saw him so... yeah. Awkward.
