We were telling a story. The river had dried up and throughout the whole kingdom, no one could grow vegetables because there was not enough water.
"What about snow pumpkins?" she said.
"Snow pumpkins?"
"Yeah. Did they grow snow pumpkins?"
"I don't know. I don't think I know what snow pumpkins are."
"Yes you do. We had it one time, with dinner? It's orange?"
"Oh! Winter squash?"
"Yes. Winter squash."
