Best Day Ever
Aaron forgave Keeley for messing with him almost immediately so she had mercy and showed him how to win at a few other carnival games. One of the vendors had to give them a plastic bag because they had collected so many stuffed animals.
"I think Violet and Kaleb will enjoy these once they're a little bit older," she said as she eyed the pile of bears, monkeys, cats, and even a duck that had made it into the bag.
"Did you like them when you were younger?" Aaron asked.
"Oh yeah, I used to have so many stuffed animals on my bed I hardly had room to sleep. My mom used to sneakily steal away the ones I didn't play with as often and donate them because they were taking up too much space."
One time, her mother made the mistake of taking one that Keeley noticed was missing. She cried for days because she wanted her stuffed lion back. After that, her mother slowed down on the animal snatching.
