My neighbor calls the ice cream truck the music truck! |
|
Her little kids have no idea that it sells ice cream! What a great idea. Wish I thought of that when my daughters were young.

2. Selling ice cream is just what it does to make money. |
|
Playing music is what it does for free, just for sheer joy.

Makes me want to get out my shotgun. Only I don't own one.

7. We used to do that as well. |
|
Worked like a charm for our first child, at least until he saw other kids making non-music-related purchases from the truck.
By the time our second child came along, the jig was already up.
Nice while it lasted though!

I used to do that when my oldest was a little girl!
I don't remember her being angry, though, once she found out...
We used to sit on the couch and watch it go by.
It was fun for both of us!

10. You know what's weird? We had the bread truck rather than the |
|
ice cream truck when we lived at Ft Davis, Panama. It sold sweet rolls and small cakes as well as bread. It had a bell that caused all the kids in the neighborhood to beg their parents for a dime so they could run out and buy something. My daughters are still nostalgic about that 30 years later!
