Couldn't want another candle

‘Does this one smell OK to you?’ Mr. Sparks asked. ‘I don’t know anymore, they all smell the same now!’ Allin replied.
‘There’s a billion and a third of candles in this place…’
‘A third?’ ‘Yeah, this ones really small.’ Allin replied as he threw the candle back into the pile.’Dad, let’s just get these ones, and call it quits. I can’t take all these fumes anymore, my head’s starting to hurt.’ ‘Fine by me!’
‘Do you think mom will like them?’ Allin asked as they walked to the car.
‘One, two, three,..’ Mr. Sparks started counting, ’...yeah, all ten of ‘em kiddo…. hopefully.’ ‘Yeah!’ Allin laughed, ’ She couldn’t want another candle after this!!’
