Y'all know that ice cream man song that has the lady that says "HELLO" right? Well when I was 8, I literally thought the ice cream man recorded my mom's voice and used it in the song.
The hello actually sounds like my mom when she answers the phone. That hello is a running joke in my family still to this day.
