How to pick the perfect pumpkin like Cade:  Wander around and around and around and make sure you are the last person to get the biggest pumpkin.  Make everyone on the hayride wait for you just so that you can be sure you have the best pumpkin.  Try not to irritate your mom.  Do it anyways.  Finally get a pumpkin that is too big that your mom can't lift it.  Ask for help.   Be the last person back on the hayride with the biggest smile and of course the best pumpkin.
