July is a great month. Indepen
dence Day or the Fourth of July is
a holiday when just about every
body has a picnic or swimming or
relaxes. Plus, there are brilliant
fireworks displays in many areas
to celebrate the bithday of the
United States of America.
And July is National Ice Cream
month. Eating ice cream is an
activity you can do anytime and
am I glad because I love to eat ice
cream and to drink milkshakes.
I can easily eat a banana split,
too, only I don’t like all the
whipped cream goo over the top.
Since they make my tummy feel
full, I don’t eat banana splits very
often.
Does your pet like ice cream as
much as you do? Lots of animals
will eat ice cream. Pets can be
mischievous and steal it from you.
Once when we had a big friendly
dog, he leaped up to greet some
one who hand an ice cream cone
which she was really enjoying.
His force accidentally sent the
cone flying. Doggie devoured it in
seconds. She was disappointed,
hungry and huffy at the dog.
When I was a teenager, my boy
friend bought us soft-freeze cones
and I really embarrassed myself.
We were sitting in the car at the
ice cream shop laughing and hav
ing fun. I made a quick jerk with
my cone and the soft-freeze shot
off the cone and landed smack
dab in his bent elbow on the arm
holding his own cone. After that
surprise, we laughed even harder.
Ice cream can create messes.
Did you ever eat a cone and have
