I love in summer how the ice cream man brings ice cream through your own neighborhood. If you listen you can hear the ice cream man music, and then you and the whole block scramble around trying to get your money together. You must be fast, thats part of the fun. Once you have your money you get outside and run hard, feet slamming the pavement as you race to the corner.

Its up to your ears at this point to determine which way the ice cream man has gone. Once you zero in on where he is and which way he is going, you must attempt to head him off. Leaping hedges and cutting through yards you race to get to the truck. As you travel other kids join you, running alongside, forming a pack around you.

And finally as this group of kids reaches critical mass, charging along, you finally reach the truck, where you must order your choice ice cream by pointing to the decal on the side of the truck because you are out of breath from running.

Or you could get one from a store, but what fun is that?
