LOL! We'll be Squidwards together, Irish. Are you sure you're not a Capricorn?

We’ll be Squidwards together, Irish. Are you sure you’re not a Capricorn?

About forgiving yourself for not writing as much as you think you should. It's a good article. It's okay to be a Squidward instead of Spongebob. *LOL* We understand. It's sometimes hard to be Spongebob, you know. More than for reasons of it's hard to imagine such wild fantasy...*LOL* And what a rebel you are, buying your kids ice cream from the truck! *LOL* Irish, you need to scroll back up through the comments to the Elizabeth Gilbert link.

I don't know Bum Bum Bum. That does sound completely idyllic. Janga, I loved Red Rover as a kid. I don’t know Bum Bum Bum.

I came into the office (adjacent to our family room) and sat down at the computer. As I was pulling up your site, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea" was playing in the other room!! LOL I built forts out of couch cushions, blankets and sheets (much to my mother's chagrin) and when I could be convinced there were no spiders inside I did play in big appliance boxes! I also rode bikes, played kick the can and flag football - lots of kids in our neighborhood. We were almost never allowed ice cream from the ice cream truck. It was a special occasion when that happened. Hence, the reason my kids usually get ice cream from the ice cream truck!! (I'm such a bad parent sometimes) I don't think my kids realize how much my deprivation as a kid has benefited them!! LOL I had a pretty active imagination but stifled it! So I guess I was more Squidward than Spongebob. I was too serious and grown-up to be silly. I'm not really sure what my strengths are right now. It's definitely not getting words on the page!

In the summers we played until we could no longer see the ball. We played all those group games too like Red Rover and Bum Bum Bum that you're all probably too young to remember. We rode our bikes and ran races and played hide-and seek all over the neighborhood. No parent worried because everybody in the neighborhood, even cross old Mr. Walt, looked after all the kids. We had an ice-cream truck, but even better we had mothers who made ice cream in those old-fashioned churns that had to be turned by hand. Being allowed to turn was a treat and a test of strength because as the mixture turned from liquid to ice cream, it grew more and more difficult to turn the handle. Everybody had a dish and the little kids fell asleep and the big ones caught lightning bugs or listened to the adults tell stories. Looking back, I see it as idyllic. Then, it was just life.

You don't get ICE CREAM from the ICE CREAM truck? Are you mad? I don't care if I was a 100, if I heard those bells, you bet your sweet ass I'd be out there with my $5, getting my ice cream. Dude!

I heard those tinkling bells and I ran to the window and he said my eyes lit up like Christmas tree lights. Every summer he says, "Why don't you go out there and get some ice cream?" But I don't. Like Hellie, there was no ice cream truck trolling the streets. I was lucky though because my GP's lived in the middle of our ghost town and I roamed everywhere.

Just like the ice cream guy, but he parked and sold fresh bread and the absolutely best fresh donuts! My dream donuts, to say the least. I go on periodic donut hunts, looking for the donut I remembered from the truck... We had the neatest thing…a bread truck!
