Candy

So, a little background info on this cute little story: When our bishop did tithing settlements in December he passed out those little mini candy canes to the little kids. We had our tithing settlement the first week of December and sure enough Avery cashed in and received a couple of candy canes.

Fast forward to today: As we were leaving church for the day we walked past the bishop's office. The bishop was standing in the doorway. As we walked by the bishop cheerfully called out, "How are the Tanners today?" Al and I replied with the usual pleasentries. Avery, who was in Al's arms, turned and took a look at the bishop. All of a sudden she lunged towards him, holding her arms out to him like she wanted to be held. Then she started saying, "Candy! Candy! Candy!" The bishop of course obliged her. He told Avery to come with him. She followed him into his office and waited patiently while he went through his filing cabinet. After a few seconds he produced a jar of smarties. He told Avery that she could take two rolls. Boy was she thrilled. She thanked him and said, "bye-bye."

Al and I were just flabbergasted that Avery rememebered receiving candy from the bishop in the first place. It was two months ago that she got that little candy cane. I guess she's got to remember her sources. Smart girl!
