That's not very nice, trying to scam a kid out of their cool leaf for a measly ice cream.
In an effort to teach my kid about money, I offered to give my kid $1 to buy the rocks in their pocket. They said yes, but took my dollar and tried to walk away. After wrestling the dollar back, it became a uneasy truce where we both hand things back at the same time.
And halfway through, my kiddo said this was dumb and gave me some of his rocks if I left him alone.
There's no meaning to this story.
She knows what she's got.
I ain't takin any low-ballers here!
The guy thinks he can get the $1 trillions leaf for an ice cream 🤑
A cool leaf for a bomb pop is highway robbery. That's worth an okay leaf at best.
Okay, yeah, funny story, but are these the bomb pops that you can buy in a box of 20 for like $4? Or do ice cream trucks get something different? I need to know.
Depends on the size and the truck. The ones when I was a kid had the big 'uns. I don't know what size you're getting when it's 20 for $4 but I imagine it's one of the smaller ones. The flavor is the same though.
It doesn't matter to me, though. The orange sherbet Flintstones push ups were superior in every way.
Push-pops are impossible to find these days. At least the ones we had as kids...with the stick in the middle.
I did manage to find them at one local chain supermarket (Wegmans), but they were store brand, not Flintstones.
I just meant the popsicle brand bomb pops you can find at the grocery store. Because selling one of those for $5 would be price gouging children. Which is uncool.
The ice cream they sell at my local public swimming pool has "not for individual resale" written on the packaging.
Do we have a kidsarefuckingstupid community? We should
Edit: I guess people haven't heard about the joke sub that posted silly stories about kids doing illogical things. Ya know, kids being kids.
I'm willing to settle for c/kidsarefuckingadorable if there is no similar community yet
But this kid wasn't. How else should she react?
more like kidsareadorable
As funny as those subs were, imortalizing a child on the internet doing something stupid is pretty fucked up.
If they're not old enough to have scocial media, they certainly are not old enough to be on scocial media.
Although, I suppose anonymous stories like this one are fine.
I have a leaf collection from when I was a kid - this kid very well might grow up and still have that cool leaf. People assume kids will just throw them away, but it's not necessarily true. That leaf is probably even more than just a cool leaf to her now, because now she'll also have the memory of nearly losing it to an ice cream man.
There was a lot of general child-hate on that sub. If people are going to have a community here posting when kids doing weird or silly things, let's not name it something that will attract toxic garbage
