Icecream, only not around these parts. Usually when an icecream truck rolls around, I offer a preemptive popsicle. Why? Our local icecream trucks are sort of creepy. We have three that come around regularly, ALL are bad.
The creepiest one reminds me of the Pied Piper attempting to lure small children away. Pretty much the best kidnapping mobile EVER. Instead of playing a jaunty song (namely "The Entertainer") it plays the Russian Tetris anthem. Kidnapping with a side of frozen dairy delight?
The next is a converted ambulance. Basically everything that goes on in an ambulance is nothing I want near my novelties.
The third is not too bad. It plays the correct music and has never been anything but an icecream truck. But Caitlin fully believes it sells dog. It has a poorly rendered cartoon dog on the side- clearly the wares. One day we were outside and heard the song. Caitlin asks if we could get some icecream and runs out to the front. She then turns around and says, "Nevermind, it's just a dog truck and Audge is afraid of dogs." I'm sort of okay letting her think it is a dog truck.

We always lied to our kids about the ice cream truck too and I second the creepiness.
