A Goon (more Amelia conversations)

Amelia: What's a lagoon?
Mama: It is a body of water. Kind of like a lake.
Amelia: Oh..
Mama: Where did you hear lagoon?
Amelia: Well, the "Little Bunny Fufu song talks about the witch turning the bunny into a lagoon.  I just wanted to konw what a lagoon is.
Mama: Oh.  Well, the song isn't about a lagoon.  The witch turns the bunny into a goon. (about.025415 seconds after this came out of my mouth, I realized I had set myself up for more questioning).

Amelia: What is a goon then?
Mama: (see?  What did I tell you? More questions) I have no idea.  Maybe it is like a frog?


_________

Amelia: Mom?
Mama: Yes?
Amelia: Mom?  What does the word "say" mean?
Mama: It means that someone is saying or telling you something.
Amelia: Not like that mom.  Like when Grandma Nona says it.
Mama: Grandma Nona says it?
Amelia: Yes.  Yes, she does.
Mama: Hmmmm.  I can't think of a time when I heard her say it (I'm trying to get the context of the word).
Amelia: Yes.  She will say, "Say, why don't you play outside now."
Mama: Oh.  Wow.   Huh...
Mama: Wellllll, when you use the word say like that, it really means "hey!".
Amelia: Like what horses eat?
Mama: No.  Not that kind of hey.  The kind of hey you use when you tell soneone you haven't seen in awhile.
Amelia: Oh.
Mama: For example, I could say: Say, Amelia would you like to play in outside?
Amelia: I can see the moon over there*
