 Thanks for all the happy birthdays! It was, in fact, a happy birthday. The other day I finally got ice cream from the local ice cream truck. The last time I got ice cream from that truck was when my two little legs, running with all their might, just couldn't catch it as it turned the corner. (I remember wanting a Firecracker.) While the jingle is familiar and the truck is the same, since growing up I've avoided because I somehow developed this notion that the person behind the wheel is this creepy, creepy man scouting for little kids. Don't ask why I thought that, but I did. In fact, only a few days before, I ducked down behind my car as the truck slowly drove by. But there I stood, with my friend, hailing the ice cream truck. (Do you hail an ice cream truck? Or flag it?) It slowed to a stop and to my pleasant surprise, there were two people in the truck: a lovely old man behind the wheel and a wonderfully plump lady handling the ice cream. She was lovely and patient with my friend and I as we stumbled over each other, trying to figure out what to get. It's been so long, and some ice cream choices have changed (Choco Taco, anyone?). I finally decided on a Chocolate Eclair while my friend got the multi-flavored, rainbow-colored shaved ice. So there was nothing to fear after all! They were two lovely people, looking to share some refreshing treats for the summer. Next time, I won't duck down behind my car.
