So Much Candy!

“YALI! I have SO MUCH CANDY FOR YOU!” Annie called to him above the din of carpool.

“Candy” was the only word Yali needed to hear. Up he went into her arms, swept adrift in a world of post-Valentine’s-Day-party sugar high mayhem. I allowed it. I knew he had already chowed his way through a bowl’s worth of other goodies offered by various well-meaning students around school. And at that point, a “little bit more” probably wouldn’t make that big of a difference.
