Mom's (inevitable) annoyance is the extreme priority here, which seems to be the only consideration. This misses how a vendor not having the desired product would be the source of annoyance. All the hallmarks of planning and improvising alternatives are all here. However, whether there's another fish vendor with trout, for example, is clouded by this fear of mom being annoyed. That's what gets the mental attention. So that stands out to me: a child's fear of parental backlash being paralyzing. Just roadblocks the whole process.
