I used to tell my kids that the ice cream truck only plays music when they are out of ice cream. My kids are older now and know the truth but think of all of the money I saved.

That's brilliant!

Ha! I did the same thing. Now they’re teenagers and mock me.

My in-laws told my wife that it was just the "music truck". She had no idea it sold ice cream until she was in high school.

Hah! You obviously didn't learn the value of sending your kids on a wells race across the neighborhood to catch a guy in a truck. If you're lucky, that's a goods 20 minutes of peace! Worth every penny.
