Ice Cream Truck

My window is open, and I hear the music of the ice cream truck outside.  This brings back childhood memories.  We children would all play with gusto outside, because this was a time when our mothers told us to go outside and play.  We did not sit around in the house unless we were sick.  We played until the ice cream truck with its  magical song turned onto our street.  Then, we'd all start screaming at the top of our lungs, "Ice cream man!"  This was to implore our parents to give us money for the cold treat.  The fortunate children would  quickly receive a quarter or some other change from an adult and buy a treat.  The children who took a  longer time  to get money would  run after the truck while hollering, "Wait! wait, ice cream man!"  Most of the time, the ice cream man would stop. Bomb pops, butter pecan real ice cream scoops on sugar or waffle cones, popsicles, water ice, sundaes, and banana splits.  Those are some of the treats I remember from the ice cream truck.
Smiles,
