Candy Store

"Alfie!" His Mom shouted up the stairs.

"YEAH MOM?"

"I'm going to Gogo's to get some chocolate chips! Want to come?"

Alfie's Mom heard a giant thump on the floor as Alfie bolted down the stairs.

"DID YOU SAY GOGO'S?" Gogo's was the candy store in Alfie's home town. He went crazy there.

"Yes, get your shoes on. Let's go."

"Okay!" Alfie pounded back up the stairs to get his shoes.

20 minutes later, Alfie and his Mom were standing in the middle of Gogo's. He was in heaven. As they walked in the store, Alfie found himself surrounded by chocolate cover cherries, caramel truffles, and blueberry flavored licorice.

His Mom said that he could pick out one kind of candy and get a little bit of it. That sounded vague to Alfie, but he had a feeling what she meant. He couldn't decide, but he tried all of the samples while his Mom found some chocolate chips. As he was thinking about jellybeans, a little boy with black hair and big, green eyes came up to him and asked him what he was doing.

Even though Alfie practically was a kid, he wasn't very good with them. He awkwardly said, "Nothing." And started walking back to his Mom quietly. As he got back to the register where his Mom was checking out, she said,

"Did you find something?"

"Yeah, a creepy little kid."

"Alfie, you're full out it. Give me those jellybeans."

Alfie didn't really want jellybeans, but he didn't want to risk finding the little boy again, so he agreed. How does Alfie pass as 'Normal' most days?
