"Mommy! Will Zara like this?" Zach asked as he ran to his mother.

"Um… a gummy bear shaped slime?" Addison tried to hide her cringe. "Why don't you look at those bracelets… or those stuffed emojis?"

Addison shook her head. "I wish I knew. But I have enough slime in my house right now! I certainly don't need more, I don't care what it's shaped like."

Zach rushed back. "How about this puffy heart? I do love her so much!"

"Perfect, buddy," Addison replied. "Now, who's next on the list?"
