A week's worth of ice cream

A couple of times every summer, Aunt Cynthia and I would walk down to Sundae Best, in Avalon to get ice cream. And, every time, my uncle would yell at us. and tell us that he could make us ice cream sundaes every night for a week, and it would be cheaper than what we'd spend on just one visit. He was maybe right. But, in the summer, you have to get ice cream from the ice cream place in town. Even if a cone costs the same as a half gallon. Today I took my niece To some self serve Froyo yogurt place, in Westmont And told her she could get whatever she wanted. So she did. And I paid for it. $8.50 EIGHT! DOLLARS! AND! FIFTY! CENTS! For one ice cream mess. That didn't even have a cone. And what did I say? "Oh! My! God! Kelly!!! I could have bought 4 half gallons of ice cream that are on sale at the Acme right now!!!" But it was worth it. Because it's summer. And she was happy. And I want to be the Aunt Cynthia to all my nieces and nephews.
