From "Homemade"

Sarah worked out the numbers and closed the business the next day. Adolescent, adult, she’d been that way with everything. One week, Sarah ate nothing but vanilla flavored frozen yogurt before deciding that she didn’t like anything that oozed out of a machine. And last year for Christmas, she’d sent Teresa a carton full of ducklings. She must have thought she was only ordering one, because the card that came with it said “I hope you like him!”. There were 100 ducklings in that flat box, 25 per grid. Teresa had to spend an hour and a half on the telephone before she could find someone to take them back.
