That did the trick.

She then said” I would be in the shite and he would for sure tell me how the cow ate the cabbage”. I had no clue what she was talking about, cows, cabbage, shite. But the Pumpkin, oh yes, now that struck the fear of God in me. That damn pumpkin, why did she have to bring up the pumpkin incident! To be continued…….
