Pez Dispencer

He saw it in the check-out lane at the supermarket. It was hanging on one of those hooks just below the TV Guides and Redbooks. Billy was amazed by it. he had been in love with Daffy the Duck ever since he first saw him in a Loony Tunes cartoon at the age of six. when he saw the black, plastic candy dispenser hanging on the hook in front of him he couldn’t help but think that it had been created, and placed there just for him.
“Mommy?”
“Yes Billy.”
“Can I get this?” he asked as he held up the black plastic figure wrapped in clear plastic with green on either end. It was a Pez dispenser; little, multi-colored, rectangular candies would fit into the “body” of the figure and when you tilted Daffy’s head back his neck would offer you a candy.
“It’s only a dollar,” Billy reassured his mother in hopes that money would not be of concern.
“Ok Billy,” his mother replied with a sigh.
Billy cradled the small, black candy dispenser in his hands until the clerk had to swipe the code across her machine.
“Do you want to hang on to this or would you like your own bag?” the clerk asked.
“Could I have a little bag?” Billy replied with an adult tone.
