Pushing hash into an array that's inside another hash.

I left this lesson a while ago thinking that if I revisited it later I'd be better equipped. Well, that's not the case here, unfortunately. I know it's just an issue of syntax. Please help.

shopping_list.rb 
grocery_list = { 'title' => 'Grocery List', 'items' => [] }
grocery_item = { 'title' => 'Bread', 'quantity' => 1 }
grocery_list(items) << grocery_item

You are very, very close. Just change the parentheses to square ones:

grocery_list['items'] << grocery_item
