See Mom 'Lift Off' While Trying to Catch 20-Foot Inflatable Pumpkin
"In Ring camera footage that has since gone viral, Katie Morgan struggles to corral her wayward 20-foot decoration as sudden gusts of wind turned her front yard into a scene of suburban chaos. At one point, she calls her husband, Chris, at work, frantically asking "What do I do?" before dashing onto the lawn to stop the gigantic balloon. "I thought, 'This thing is going to take down our entire neighborhood, the elderly - everyone," Morgan tells TODAY.com. "That pumpkin is taller than our house.""
"When Morgan finally manages to subdue the Halloween prop, Lennon has just one request. "Let me just take a picture of you," he says to his wiped out mom. Online, the reactions were nearly as dramatic, and as funny, as the video. Viewers couldn't get enough of the comic genius of pairing the footage with Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," that somehow made the pumpkin's escape feel like a tragic love story."
A blustery Michigan afternoon produced a runaway 20-foot Halloween pumpkin that ripped across a front yard as gusts of wind turned the display into suburban chaos. Katie Morgan struggled on Ring camera footage to corral the giant balloon and called her husband for advice. Her 4-year-old son, Leopold, ran outside in pajamas and screamed, and her 7-year-old, Lennon, later joined the rescue. The children's father repeatedly instructed, "Unplug the pumpkin." Morgan eventually subdued the prop, and Lennon asked to photograph his exhausted mother. Viewers paired the footage with Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' and posted humorous comments online.
