Stepping out of my car, I heard a magical sound.  A sound of pure summer.  An ice cream truck nearby.

I raced into the house.  I found my kids.  I could hardly contain my excitement.  There was an ice cream truck outside!  Let’s go!

That’s when I heard the news, “Oh, we just got some ice cream from the truck a little while ago.”

As they relayed, their ice cream truck selections, I asked, “What did you get for me?”

Oh, I already knew the answer.  We all know the answer.  There would be no frozen treat for me.  I had been left out in the ice cream cold.  A frost settled on my dairy free heart.  Play on ice cream truck, I shall see you another day.
