The ice cream truck draws children of all ages
If you don’t believe music can trigger you and that you are not a creature of habit, wait until the ice cream truck comes to your Virginia neighborhood. I heard the music one day last week, but the vehicle was gone when I had money in hand and went out the door.
Today, I heard that familiar sound, as did about ten children in the neighborhood and my visiting grandchildren. As the Grandma Ruth’s Frozen Treats vehicle came closer, the kids gathered on the corner where they thought the truck might show up, and it did.
A sweet summer anticipation
I was running as fast as the children; practically everyone was barefooted, which reminded me of my childhood summers in the county in Virginia. I purchased what I knew was overpriced, but it was the principal.
My grandchildren chose ice cream on sticks, and I got a giant Oreo sandwich. I saw toddlers and teens all standing in line waiting, and it was a happy moment. The truck played The Theme from Love Story as we waited, then It’s a Small World, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
