E.T. shot a wild turkey, but the pumpkins and sweet potatoes were still in the garden.
The corn was all dried for winter and there were no cranberries.
Where is the canned stuff? Where is the bread for turkey dressing?
Where are the *sob!* MARSHMELLOWS???
Ginger: What a dream dat was! It was exciting but it was scary!
E.T.: Oh, .. I wouldn't say it was scary ....but I was glad to wake up!
Phelicity: Da girls had to cook efury meal from scratch efury day of da year back den!
