Is it illegal to kill the Ice Cream Man?
"sacred pnats" wrote in message
... Hi Aula! How are ya? Everyone is fine here. Daughter and grandson are fine. He is 3 now. xoxoxoxo It seems like that little guy ws born yesterday. Amazing how time flies. We are having a challenging year [not DS, just us grown ups], but my sister has really taken the cake. Her eldest three children are all getting married this year - number two wedding is today in Texas. That leaves one at home, turning 16 sometime soon [Sept., iirc]. I cannot imagine being mother of the bride/grooom three times in one year! You take care and come on around as you have time. I always enjoy your input! -Aula --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.507 / Virus Database: 304 - Release Date: 8/4/03 |

My only thought is to run a fan or a radio in their rooms to help drown out the noise. Heehee. I had to laugh to. I don't have any new ideas. I saw the ice cream truck parked the other day and I almost staked him out so when he appeared I could ask him why he *didn't* come down my street! Maybe tape that guy and have the kids fall asleep to his jingle, they'd never notice the real thing! Just kidding, I find ice cream truck music seriously annoying. -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (4) and Luke (2) |

x-no-archive: yes
Tough luck if your kids are woke up. Put the shoe on the other foot and let me know what you would do if someone complained about the noise your kids make. The Breeder Bingo response will be, "But they're only Childrennnn." Well, in this case it's only the Ice Cream Man. Good Luck trying to get the cops to stop free speech and free enterprize. FREE CLUE: The world doesn't revolve around you and your droplings. By the way - cute anti-Italian slur in your post. I'm sure you don't have the ovaries to verbalize that to the young man's face. LaTreen Washington "Sonnie B." wrote in message om... My DS & DD finish they're lunch around 11:30-1:30 pm, depending on the flow of the day. Their naptime is usually one hour or so after lunch, again depending on the flow. Just when the kids are finally asleep and cozy, and I begin daily cleanup and so forth, I hear that sound... It is the sound of the Western mythical legend, the fabled and beloved Ice Cream Man. He drives around our silent neighborhood every day at about 1:45 pm, or as it may seem to me, whenever the kids go down for a nap. I suppose things fluctuate depending on the flow of his day. The warbled tune of I'm a Little Teapot desperately tins out of the beat up old truck as he goes slower than a ninety-two year old blind man looking at house numbers. As he draws nearer to our house, the music grows louder and more garbular, until, with the inevitability of an earthquake cracking the ground, my DS & DD wake up. Most often only after a 15 to 20 minute nap. Nobody comes when the Ice Cream Man is calling; it is a ghost town here. Most parents here have either high school kids or young children like me. We've discussed this nuissance and it appears there isn't much anybody can do. I've asked him quite politely and directly that it might be better if he came around three o'clock. All our kids are awake and we'd be more likely to want snacks at that time. Unfortunately, the young Mafioso-type only sneered, wiped the trickle of blood from his lip and said, "I have to keep my route." I didn't realize that there were such stringent guidelines to the Ice Cream Delivery Profession. What local would that be again? It has gotten to the point where we now have to take a drive to get our kids to nap for a decent amount of time. I hate to disrupt their schedules by waiting for the Ice Cream Man to come by and then bolt for the bedrooms once he's gone. Would it be just way too much to call the cops and ask for their assistance with this? It seems rather drastic a step to take over such a stupid thing. Any thoughts at all? Thanks for reading ~ SB |
