Meeting

Just overheard Hank and his 12-year-old sister, Zoë,  talking while dying their Easter eggs at at the kitchen counter.

Hank: “Just so you know, the meeting for trading Easter candies is in my room this time, Zoë.”

I look at Zoë.  Meeting?

Zoë: “We’ve had this candy exchange for a long time.”  “We trade candy every time there’s a holiday for really good candy.” ” Easter is usually one of them.”

“And it works out really well for everyone because someone usually gets something worth trading.”

Hank nods in approval.  Man, I thought I was buying some really awesome candy.
