May Day!

"It was May Day! When they were little, she and Thomas always made May baskets from construction paper and filled them with tissue-paper flowers. They'd sneak over to Mr. Pickering's front poorch, hang the baskets on his doorknob, then ring the doorbell. Before Mr. Pickering answered, they would run home. Mr. Pickering always pretended not to know who had left the surprise." —GIANT PUMPKIN SUITE by Melanie Heuiser Hill

Pumpkin and Banana

"Closing his eyes, he opened his mouth and tipped back the viscous orange tube as he had seen Yahgurkin do. His mouth was at once filled with a slimy, chunky liquid. Yahgurkin's description of a salty mash-up of pumpkin and banana had been generous. It was disgusting." —MULROX AND THE MALCOGNITOS by Kerelyn Smith
