When I was very little, the ice cream truck used to come by my house in the summer. My parents told me it was the 'music truck', and it came by to play music to all the little boys and girls. Naturally, I was heartbroken when my best friend told me that it was actually the ice cream truck. So I packed up my few belongings and 'ran away from home' (walked across the street), sat there on my suitcase for ten minutes, then decided to forgive my mom and dad and came back.

I was quite strange.

I used to believe that when the ice-cream van man came around the neighbourhood, the jingle meant that he had run out of ice-cream. This is what my parents used to tell me. Is this bad parenting I wonder?

when I was about 5 my uncle told me that the ice cream truck was from the orphanage comming to take me away. When I eventually realized that it wasn't the orphanage truck he told me they only played music when it was sold out of ice cream. I only dicovered the truth when I was in my teens.

My friend was told when the ice cream man was playing the music it was because he ran out of ice cream. She believed it for years bless her.

We were told if the music was playing from the ice-cream van that they'd run out of ice-cream.
Needless to say, excitement on seeing the van was always short-lived!
