The Bad Seed is not ready for Halloween and since he can’t be ready with the best cotume ever, no on eels should have Halloween either. Luckily, the Pumpkin Seed knows just what to say. 

I love the message of not letting your bad mood dictate how you are going to act in a given situation. Pumpkin Seed is very wise and Bad Seed is smart for listening to its counsel. John’s Food series just keeps getting better.
