I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Every neighborhood has its one or maybe even two usual ice cream trucks/carts visiting on an almost daily basis. But how much ice cream can one neighborhood really eat? Since we've moved, we have noticed that this neighborhood can get ice cream or some other form of food just about every hour. Seriously, we have three ice cream trucks. And on most days we even have two food vendors with their carts. I guess this is a good place for business... Especially when, as we discovered, one of our neighbors seems to run out to each and every one of those vendors. Where does it all go? Now we moved here during the end of last summer, and I recall one week we really did want ice cream. Mom would tell me to go and get her some ice cream. Well now I didn't have shoes on, had to find the money... Too late, the truck left. I'd tell her it was okay, because we both knew there'd be another truck soon enough. And if we missed that one, again I'd say "there'll be another one." Even to this day at least I find it funny. So when my friend came over, I asked her if she wanted ice cream.. I was joking as I believe we had just snacked on something... She went with it, and said not now. I told her it was okay, cuz "there'll be another one in an hour." Then I told her, "and if ya don't want one then, there'll be another one in an hour after that." We continued playing games and sure enough an hour later, there was another ice cream truck. I got a "hey, you're right" and I laughted... Now I am going off of memory here and it is kinda late, so this proabably ain't exactly how it went. So ta ta, as I go mimi soon... Anyone want an ice cream before I go?
