Ice Cream Truck

Right now there is an ice cream truck on my street. You might think that's nothing special, but in my 9 years on this street, and in fact in my 12 years in the 'ville, this is the first street-to-street ambling ice cream truck I've seen. I even heard a handful of kids scream "ICE CREAM!!!" Here, in a community where kids are not allowed to play outside.

But ice cream trucks transcend generations and communities. We all scream for ice cream.

Now it's on the next street over. I can still hear the truck's song. It's a sped-up version of Send In The Clowns. Umm, sure, ice cream trucks in my day didn't play carousel covers of macabre Sondheim musical numbers, but I chalk that up to _________________ and I'm in no mood for a fight. I'm with the kids:

This is just a moment cap that made me smile big.

ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!

I never knew they had ice cream trucks outside the US!

I'm pretty sure I saw them in Paris, too, but I don't remember what they played there.
