The Progeny
Meet the Cucumbers
Joining the blog this week...the Cucumber family!
On the left, Herbert Cucumber. Herb is an esoteric kinda guy. Oh, he can get the day-to-day jobs done, but what he really loves is to float upon the clouds of metaphysics, particularly its more abstruse aspects. Don't let that seemingly silly grin fool you...great thoughts are wheeling behind those vacant eyes.
Next we see Magnolia. This comely matron divides her time between eating chocolate and refreshing her lipstick. Not an easy job, considering she's an inanimate object. Maggie is undaunted though, and knows she provides a vital service to the economy by purchasing cocoa products by the gross. In her spare moments she provides a guiding hand to...
Curbie Cucumber. If this lad looks disgruntled it is only because his mother won't let him read Calvin and Hobbes. In the meantime, Curbie concentrates on polishing his computer game skills and secretly picking off scabs. His friends think he'll join the Teamster's Union when he grows up, but what Curbs really wants in life is to be just like his dad...if only he could figure out what---that---was.
Last is Baby Melonie. So cute, and yet so tooth challenged. Nonetheless, little Mel is adored despite dentate irregularities. While her long-range goals include oral surgery and braces, Melonie's immediate concern is to increase her vocabulary, which to date includes, "Goo," "Gah," and "More chocolate, please."
We trust you've enjoyed meeting this happy family. It is hoped they will join us again in the future, barring schedule conflicts and untoward decomposition.

That family is cool as a ...
So is the description of each a hint to who carved each?
(Hey, we older kids never got to carve vegetables, pumpkins or otherwise)
Oh hey, Sharon...I did them all. Figured you could tell by the bad art work :-p
And just like Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy has given them a chance to become real people, IF they pass the test...
