Like i said, I didn’t see any of that, because work. But I did see how ecstatic they were in those first few seconds, when they realized that ice cream was coming and that they could have it if they ran fast enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, apparently, they remembered a previous ice cream truck encounter where something fishy had gone on with the exchange. So this time they made sure to be clear about how much the ice cream novelty thingies cost in advance. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

I didn’t see what happened next because I had to go back to my work life balance, which is mostly work. But apparently they grabbed whatever was in my wallet and raced after the truck in their socks. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

They were temporarily stunned because I didn’t put up a fight, or place conditions on the ice cream getting. But they were smart enough not to give me time to reconsider, and they dashed off. — PolitiTweet.org

And sure enough when I muted my Zoom I could hear the ice cream truck coming by with that stupid song. The kids were prepared to haggle and beg but I just said “sure, go get some some.” — PolitiTweet.org

A cool thing that happened yesterday was that sometime in the afternoon my kids burst into my room yelling “ice cream! Ice cream!” — PolitiTweet.org
