Name Change...Don't ya think?

A sure sign of summer is when you start to hear
an ice cream truck song as it slowly approaches your
street. I love the sound and it reminds me of when I was
little and they had ice cream trucks in Utah (I don't think they
do anymore.) So when I heard that sound again here
in New York I was so excited...for myself, for Jace but mostly
for Georgia I love that she will have that memories of the ice cream
truck in the summer. Then I caught a glimpse of the truck...
Mr. Ding-A-Ling
are you kidding me? Why would you name your ice cream
business that when you know it is targeted to little kids?
The first thing that both Jace and I said is Georgia
will never be allowed to get anything from Mr. Ding-A-Ling.
But we broke down this week and made our first purchase.
And it was sure good.

I am so glad Georgia will have a memory of having an
ice cream man but I just wish he could get a brain and change
the name of the business. Am I crazy or do all you mom's out there agree?

So crazy!! That's the name that Josh makes me call him when he dishes up ice cream for me. :)
Totally kidding.
It is definitely creepy. 1950's appropriate, perhaps, but not now. There are way too many inferences that will be made.

This post made me laugh! I thought the same thing about the name when I first saw that truck! And it still puzzles me when I see it drive by. But I do agree with you that ice cream trucks are the best!

Oh come on T, you know you love Mr. Ding-a-ling...Good news, the ice cream truck delivers to the beach - - so cute, the ice cream man comes to the end of the little walkway and rings a dinner bell and all the kids go sprinting. Now get down here. I'll call u lateskies. xoxo

Tiana this is terrible... First of all, ice cream truck drivers need to watch their backs because people are always a little nervous of them. But this guy is really making himself a target on this one. Gross
