The youngest child in a family of four kids has a hard time finding the snacks they love the most. The best snacks are gulped down in a matter of seconds by the strongest and oldest, which is why Emery's birthday list looked more like a grocery list. She had things on there like Poptarts, Mountain Dew, and her all time favorite, Goldfish Crackers.
"Do you like it?" Grandma asked.
Imagine her surprise when her grandma gently handed her a gift bag and told her to open it carefully.
"Do you like it?" Grandma asked.
"Um, it's a goldfish," Emery stated.
"I know!"
"I guess I have a fish now,"Emery said, trying to muster some excitement.
"I know!"
"Did you want me to have a fish?"
"Well," Grandma said, pleased with herself, "it was on your list."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Your mom gave me your list, and it clearly said, 'goldfish.'"
Now her list says things like: Strawberry frosted Poptarts in the box and found in the breakfast aisle, Mountain Dew in cans in the pop aisle, Goldfish Crackers in a box in the snack aisle and made for eating.
