ice cream man

So, my kids bought the whole neighborhood ice cream tonight. We have an ice cream man that comes around once a week. The kids have been begging to get something from him all summer. As he only takes cash, it's not something i've been able to do.

Tonight, he drove by just like always, & all of the sudden, everyone is running through the house & out the door. Then someone comes back in, down the hall, & back out again. That happens twice more. Then i hear dominick asking taylor where the change is. When he can't find it, he starts throwing a fit (which is normal). That's when i realized that they were buying ice cream.

I wasn't happy. I guess i shouldn't be too upset, as it is their money, and they should be able to use it how they want to. But, it was just about dinnertime, & no one had eaten yet. When they did eat, though, they actually ate. And some of them had more than one plate.
