Ice cream. :)

It's a wonderful, wonderful afternoon..and I know what would make it wonderful-er.
I happily skip over to this chubby man..minding a quaint little stall.

I smile and I giggle and I smile even more..
as I reach into my pocket.
He looks at me and smiles right back and lets out a jolly chuckle.
I spread my hand right in front of him and giggles a little more..
He delightfully accepts the offered cash and nods his head as he counts it all.

And then he looks at me and asks ever so casually..
"and so my dear..I see you're here and what will it be today?".
I laugh some more and then I think and then I say "cookies and cream of course"..
"of course" he says and smiles then turns his back to me..after a while he turns back around and offers me an ice cream cone.

It seems to me it's the best-est thing in this whole wide world..This ice cream filled with cookie bits and placed on a little cone.

But all good things must come to an end..and that includes my frozen dairy treat..after all of that..I quietly try..to survive the rest of the ice cream-less afternoon.
