A few weeks ago, I was in the park down the block with the kids, when I heard a familiar chime- an ice cream truck! I have never seen an ice cream truck in Israel before (except for mabye at a big attraction!)- and certainly not in Beitar, so the kid in me got all excited- hey, lets go buy something! (the adult in me said no!)
The kids got excited too- but not because they had any idea that you could actually buy ice cream from the truck! They were just excited to see such a silly "tender" that had a picture of ice cream on it and made funny music! Its funny how such simple things can make kids happy- who even needed the ice cream- the truck alone was exciting enough! I'd better enjoy their innocence while it lasts- because soon they'll catch on and they'll start begging me for ice cream every time they hear his chime!
(Well, actually, I think by now the kids have already chapped that its more than just a van with a picture on it...especially when they see the neighbors lined up next to it, and coming back with ice cream or popsicles! (I still don't understand how all these Israeli's have $ for it!)
