One day, in the year 2034, there lived a boy named Isaac Albert. This was his thirteenth birthday (he was born in 2021.) Up to this point, he got a special kind of dessert for each birthday he has had starting with is third in 2024. The sequence is:
2024 = cupcake
2025 = doughnut
2026 = eclair
2027 = froyo
2028 = gingerbread
2029 = honeycomb
2030 = ice cream
2031 = jellybean
2032 = KitKat
2033 = lollipop
But for 2034, things began to get messed up. What he wanted was marshmallows, but his father Josh said he was going to give Isaac milkshakes. Isaac got very mad; he wanted his thirteenth birthday to be celebrated with marshmallows, not milkshakes.
Isaac wanted some kind of discussion with the adults in his life. The discussion was all about whether milkshake or marshmallow was a better choice. Isaac himself really wanted marshmallows as his thirteenth birthday dessert. He needed some discussion, and the result was as follows: some people get marshmallows and some get milkshakes.
But that gave rise to a new question: who should get marshmallows and who should get milkshakes?? Each person going to the party had a coin to flip. Those whose coins land on heads get marshmallows. Those whose coins land on tails get milkshakes. It was a tie; so exactly half of the population got marshmallows and the other half got milkshakes.
Isaac himself got marshmallows the way he wanted. Just after his birthday party, his family worked on making a photo album for all his birthdays from his 3rd (2024) to his 13th (2034.) For the last of these they gave importance to those with marshmallows because that's what he wanted himself.
The photo album was finished by the fall of 2034. Isaac himself loved the photo album with pictures of all the desserts he ate for all his birthdays.
Moral of the story: you can't always get what you want.
