The Great Ice Cream Challenge

great ice cream challenge sitting restlessly scanning the room and life and the prevailing mood I am going to eat that huge pot of ice cream. But it’s not good for you. what is anymore? still going to eat it all creamy and rich might even use my fingers It is too cold outside. wrap up in a blanket put on wooly scratchy socks going to eat it all while the thought is fresh Grow up, your acting like a baby Yep! maybe rub it in my hair I am old how much more grown up must I get. Going to eat every bit one would think at your age… One can kiss my bippy pass me the spoon …..please my only concession I’m going in yum.

My last bout with the binge//really made me cringe//so I'm back//to a lessor attack//just nibbling around the fringe. Consequences!!! Dang, they seem to mean more nowadays;-)

Good morning John. Thank you for reading and the comment. I figure its not going to kill and if it is I will probably be dead already lol. A binge now and then at my age I deserve it.

Hi Jack it is a phrase from the comedy show in the 70's. Goldy Hawn and the rest. Loved that show. Thank you for coming over here so early. Thank you for enjoying.

You reminded me of one of my favorite episodes in the Little House Books series. In "Farmer Boy", Almanzo's parents left the kids on their own for a week. They made and ate ice cream all day every day, until the sugar got used up.

I was feeling defiant about the do's and not do's at my age so I dood it. Not a regular habit for rebellion but somethings just have to be said and done. Thank you for your kind words and memory.
