Aunt Judy spent all day in the kitchen. She made a special cake. The cake had raisins, carrots, and cherries. I hope everyone likes my cake, said Aunt Judy. She gave a piece to Emmy. Oh, said Emmy. I don't like raisins. Emmy picked out the raisins. Aunt Judy cut a piece of cake for Dad. I never eat carrots, said Dad. He ate everything but the carrots. Aunt Judy handed a piece to Harry. Yuck, said Harry. Cherries. He left all of the cherries on his plate. Aunt Judy gave a piece to Mom. Thank you, said Mom. I will just eat the things that I like. Mom picked out the raisins, carrots, and cherries. She ate them all. Her cake now had little holes in it. Oliver ate his whole piece of cake. I love this cake, said Oliver. I love everything in it. Oliver wished he had more cake. He looked at everyone's plate. He had an idea. Oliver took Mom's cake. He went around to everyone's plate. He collected the raisins, carrots, and cherries. Oliver held up his plate. I have a new piece of cake, said Oliver. It was Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. The kids and Aunt Judy were making dinner. It will be very special, Oliver said. Let's make pasta, Emmy said. And sauce with vegetables, Aunt Judy said. And cake, Harry said. And toast, Oliver said. Toast isn't special, Harry said. Oliver shrugged. I'm good at making toast. Emmy boiled pasta. Harry and Aunt Judy chopped vegetables. Oliver made toast. Emmy tasted the sauce. It needs a little salt, she thought. She put some in. Harry and Emmy mixed the cake batter. Harry put the pan in the oven. Aunt Judy put the vegetables in the sauce. It needs a little salt, she thought. Harry mixed the pasta and sauce together. It needs a little salt, he thought. Mom and Dad sat at the table. How's the food, Emmy asked. Good, Dad said. But it's a little... Salty, Mom said. I only added a little salt, Emmy said. Me too, Harry said. Uh-oh, Aunt Judy said. We still have dessert, Emmy said. Ah, Harry cried. I forgot about the cake. The cake was black. Harry groaned. Aw, we ruined the anniversary dinner. I made lots of toast, Oliver said. Dad smiled. We love toast. And each other, Mom said. The Carters were eating Thanksgiving dinner. I love cranberry sauce, Mom said. Too bad we only eat it at Thanksgiving. I like turkey, stuffing and gravy, Dad said. We only have those at Thanksgiving, too. We eat mashed potatoes all the time, Harry said. But I still like them on Thanksgiving. Emmy and Oliver were too busy eating to talk. I cooked a special treat, Aunt Judy said. Who wants some oyster pie? Dad made a face. Oyster pie is an old family favorite, Aunt Judy said. But your dad is always afraid to try it. Oysters look weird, Dad said. The kids laughed. Does oyster pie taste like pumpkin pie? Oliver asked. No, it's not a dessert, Aunt Judy said. But it still tastes good. Dad, you always make us try new foods, Emmy said. I'll try oyster pie if you do. Everyone looked at Dad. You go first, Emmy, he said. Aunt Judy put some oyster pie on their plates. Emmy took a small bite. Then she took a bigger bite. Mmm, this is good, she said. Dad took a bite and swallowed hard. I guess it's okay, he said. Okay? It's delicious, Emmy said. More oyster pie, please! Oliver said, I see a lot of trucks. The Carters were at a food truck festival. Each truck sold a different type of food. Where should we get dinner, Mom said. At the Taco Time truck, Emmy said. At Peppy's Pizza, Harry said. I don't want pizza or tacos, Oliver said. I want a cupcake from Cupcake King. No, Oliver, Mom said. A cupcake is not a dinner. Dad gave Harry and Emmy money. You two can get tacos and pizza, he said. Harry and Emmy each got on a line. Dad and Mom took Oliver for a hot dog. The lines were very long. Everyone waited and waited. This is taking forever, Harry thought. I'm starving, Emmy thought. Dad groaned. We'll be waiting for dinner all night. More time passed. Cupcake King doesn't have a line, Oliver said. Dad looked at Mom. Okay, Mom shrugged. Let's get cupcakes, then we'll get dinner. Mom waved Harry and Emmy over. Everyone got cupcakes. Yum, Oliver said. These are the best cupcakes ever, Emmy said. Let's get more, Mom said. Everyone got another cupcake. The other trucks have short lines now, Dad said. Should we get dinner? I can't eat dinner, Mom said. I ate too many cupcakes.
