Sundays are for Sundaes
Where I work, we scoop a lot of ice cream on Sundays. It is the day for ice cream, especially with the current heat wave. Nerves are frazzled. Everybody is hot and grumpy. And it is poker run day. Bikes galore. Customers get upset if their fave flavor is all gone. Kids are dripping with chocolate and vanilla.
In the end, we survived another hot summer night working the ice cream counter. The counters are clean and the doors are locked. But it is still hot… wish I had some ice cream now 
.
My kids like to visit me where I work. They think it is a cool job. They know nothing of what the job really entails. They see me kid with customers, fix various machines and best of all (at least in their eyes) scoop ice cream. Now if all our problems were as easy to fix as an ice cream cone… then I would have this parenting gig figured out.
By the way, did you want sprinkles on that?
