In closing, my mother is unable to send a child a package without including at least one unexpected item. I’ve been working to ween her off this habit, and this is the best she’s done yet. The intended contents of the package were a type of cereal she wanted me to try. I assume the dog was something she just knew I had to have (I don’t), and the set of flatware is part of a joke she thinks is hilarious (something about me being just a little girl with a little mouth), but that last item was obviously an impulsive choice. There was no forethought in that happy meal toy, right Mom? You’re really making progress.

PS you will be hard-pressed to find something more fitting of the title ‘first-world problem’.
