The trouble with ice cream



Do you know the trouble with ice cream?
It melts.
Slowly, until it slips off the cone, or so quickly that your fingers become covered in it.
Some people will stir with their spoon until the ice cream becomes a soup.
Others try to gobble it up before any bit can drip away.
Some take little licks, turning the cone so that each side is given a turn.
Others take bite after bite, then groan as a brain freeze hits.
There are so many flavors, and none can agree on which is the very best.
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. The list goes on and on.
Do you know the other problem with ice cream?
There is never enough to share.
And everyone cries when their scoop falls to the ground.
