Description:

Nanci Olesen describes a real life scary incident: being hugely pregnant on Halloween, she painted her belly orange and drew a jack o lantern on it. Assuming this would be funny and cute to her neighbors, she proceeded to flash her pumpkin belly as she trick or treated with her preschooler. But alas, an up close glimpse of real life might be just too scary, even for Halloween.
