we may have to wait a little longer than six months!
I can see it now. Duncan's kid comes home from high school one day with
bright green hair. Duncan sits him down.
"Son, I am very disappointed in you."
(silence)
"People in our family simply do NOT dye their hair green. It makes you
look like a squash."
(silence)
"Have you considered a nice bright orange? You can piece your nose, too,
as long as your nosering is a nice long pumpkin stem."
(pause)
"Dad... I... I have something to tell you. I LIKE being a squash."
"Oh lord. No, I'm sure it's just a phase."
"Maybe. Maybe we could compromise. I've... also been thinking about being
an orange hubbard squash."
"No! Hubbard squash tend to get trapped into Scientology. Go ahead son,
be a big green squash. I love you."
"I love you too dad!"
(They hug.)
