The ice cream man!

Last summer the ice cream man gave my boys a card that had his phone # on it so they could call him any time to get ice cream, this is a kids dream but a night mare for me. All through the winter they asked if we could call the ice cream man and I'd have to say no time and time again, we have to wait till summer. So today the boys were out all day in the pool and after a long hot day they hear the ice cream truck, they start screaming and running through the house get money mom! I had no cash I told them sorry as they both ran out the house crying as they watch other neighbor hood kids get ice cream. I saw just how sad they where so I ran around and found $4.00 I ran out side so fast telling them to yell stop! The ice cream man said let me turn around and I'll be right back. The boys stood there with so much excitement! I stood there thinking the ice cream man is a rip off, they charge $2.25 for one ice cream when I could go and buy they a huge pack at Safeway for the same price. I then thought I remember when I was a kid and just how fun it was to get ice cream from the ice cream man, there was just something so special about it and sure I could have taken my money to the store and bought a huge pack for the same price but like I said there's just something so great about it. The boys stood there and picked out there treats as I stood watching there happy little faces. As they enjoyed there ice cream and even gave sister a try I just looked at them and thought it must be so fun to be a kid!
