In the car on the way to the chocolate festival, I could not contain my enthusiasm.

“Tommy, you’re going to have such a fun day.”

Tommy smiled excitedly,

I continued, “There’s going to be a fountain made of different kinds of chocolate. And you can buy some candy to take home with you. And you can taste some of Mommy’s ice cream. Then, afterwards we’re going to have pizza for lunch. Your perfect day! You are going to be in heaven!”

I looked in the rear-view mirror. Tommy’s face was ashen. His lip quivered.

“I’m going to heaven?” he asked.
