And worrisome.<br /><br />@Mirth: That would creep me out, too.<br /><br />@Rassles: I seem to remember them being like 50 cents or so. I am sure you practically need a credit card nowadays.<br /><br />@CMGD: I guess if you stand there and give the driver the stink-eye it might go okay. :)<br /><br />@AFM: You know, even writing the post I really wrestled with that one. Maybe the trucks really were new back in the early 70s and they are using the same ones now? Or perhaps as I kid I just didn't notice. I might have to ask my parents.<br /><br />@Sid: Only if you have a good sense of humor.<br /><br />@Titanium: Welcome!

And we just saw it through the filter of childhood? <br /><br />I think we wrap our kids in cotton wool. There are no more pedophiles today than there were 30 years ago.

They were expensive, but they were also huge compared to what you get in the grocery store today. <br />In a neighborhood we used to live in though, we always thought it odd that the guy never came through before dark. It creeped me out.Mirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036224287445141051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-60123661757908766722009-09-29T06:52:24.553-04:002009-09-29T06:52:24.553-04:00Our ice cream man stops at the neighbor's hous...Our ice cream man stops at the neighbor's house EVERY F***ING DAY! Sarah got fed up before I did and chewed him out for not turning his music down as he sat there for 10 minutes while we had a baby trying to sleep (yeah, this is 8 in the evening).<br /><br />I hate him.<br /><br />But at least he squelches the music now.<br /><br />Plus, $5 for a popsicle? Unfortunately, Tyler will not be experiencing the awesome factor of buying an ice cream cone from a yellow van playing obnoxious music. Not for those prices.Irrational Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701066159275266042noreply@blogger.com
