I scream, You scream....

I remember being at my aunt's house as a kid and hearing the distant music of the beloved ice cream truck.  All the kids in the neighborhood would make a mad dash inside to plead their case for 50 cents.   Just 50 cents was all that stood between a sweaty kid and a Rocket Pop.  Oh glorious day!

Fast forward a few decades.   I get to see my little ones' eyes light up when the white musical truck comes through our neighborhood.  Though 50 cents will no longer get you a Rocket Pop, for a little bit more you can get a Tweety Pop or a Batman Bar.  Totally worth it for the sweet messy smiles on chubby little faces.
