From the back seat of the van...

...Robert bursts out, "Mom! I know what I want you to bring me from Hawaii!"

"What's that, Bud?"

"A snow shovel!"

Alice snickers and says, "You can't find a snow shovel in Hawaii because there's no snow."

"I don't want snow, I want a snow shovel," he retorts.

Alice insists, "You can't find a snow shovel in Hawaii!"

"Mom?" Robert asks, "What if there's a kid in Hawaii who wants a snow shovel for his birthday. They could MAKE one for him, right?"

"Yeah, they could probably make one."

"Yeah. At a factory," he says quietly to himself, "But if you can't find a snow shovel at Hawaii, I want a big bag of candy."

"And if you can't find a fancy dress with matching red ruby shoes, then I want a big bag of candy, too!" chimes in Alice.

"Um. Okay. Will do."
