Good ole Red, White & Blue

Another interruption for a bizarre conversational interlude (again at the kitchen table).

Mom: (Picking up a small flag that Noa had left laying around) What's this for?
Noa: It's for eating watermelons.
Mom: Hm... wow. What happens if you don't have a flag with your watermelon?
Noa: Watermelon's gonna be dead.
