A Good Treat For a Brat

On those hot summer's afternoons around five, there's nothing that soothes like ice cream; sweaty kids can't wait for Mr. Softee to arrive... and they run while their hysterical moms scream! The line is long and noisy children begin to drool, " Get my ice cream, mom " the wild kid yells... " You must wait in line...you silly, little fool! " And he gets angrier by stepping on broken glass! " Scotty, be good...your ice cream is coming! " " Yes, that's mine, mom! " he jumps up and grabs it; I watch him eat it as the cone starts dripping... " Yummy, I like chocolate! A good treat for a brat! " Written on 10/23/ 2015
