My son hears music in the neighborhood and yells "It's the ice cream truck"
My jaw hits the ground. For 4 years my husband and I had him.; It's the Music Truck of course! It drives around and plays music for little children. All if this lying and scheming was to avoid this. Aside: one of my favorite Eddie Murphy bits of all time. Anyway, I let this little statement go without responding and revisit later when he is winding down for the night. Here is how the conversation went:
Me: Hey! Did you hear the Music Truck earlier? (I am so stealth!)
Son: Yeah, but it was an ice cream truck
Me: Hm, how did you know it was an ice cream truck?
Son: Because I saw it was white (??what??)
Me: Oh, but how did you find out it was an ice cream truck?
Son: I saw it on PBS
Thanks a lot! All that hard work and lying right down the drain..........Oh well, now I will just have to lie about not having any money.
ROTFL. That Eddie Murphy skit is hysterical. I didn't think there WERE ice cream trucks anymore. When Keith was a baby, he only came down the street (BLASTING music) when K was napping, and I would hold my breath hoping he would not stop or slow down. "WAHHHHH!" "NOOoooooooooo!" &^%$*#!
