The Ice Cream Man | South Florida Photographer
The ice cream man comes by our house pretty regularly. Owen can hear him from a mile away. He hears him way before I do. Owen will say, “I hear the ice cream!” Of course I won’t, so I think he’s making it up, and yet low and behold here comes the ice cream man. The ice cream man music affects my kids the same way, I’m sure, Pavlov’s dogs responded to that bell. When the ice cream man started coming, or my kids were old enough that I paid attention to it, if I had cash I’d get ice cream for the kids. My husband would say, “You know, you keep doing this and the kids are going to start to expect it.” Well it’s probably been a year now that the ice cream man has been regularly stopping at our house, and so far so good. If I have cash, we get ice cream, if I don’t, the kids just seem to be happy being able to hear him and wave as he’s going by. If my kids grow up, and twenty years from now think back on their childhood, smile, and say “Everytime we heard the ice cream man, my mom would get us ice cream.” Then I’m happy! What a great memory to have! The ice cream man!
He came by yesterday. Owen had a friend over. We bought two Batmans and a Dora.
