Thrifty Ice Cream

The name of the game is bribery, and usually it works just fine. Sure, there were still puddles of Ever tears on the floor and T hid underneath the big chair in the corner, but we did the deed and then we got our reward. The deed = flu shots. The reward = Thrifty ice cream at the Rite Aid next door. And Quinn should have gotten a double scoop because she was a straight up boss. She sat in the chair, got the shot, let just a tear or two fall from her big browns and then asked for a Batman sticker. You can tell she has brothers because she doesn't want a princess sticker even though they have those in plenty, but she does ask for Batman on the purple background, so there's that. Ice cream choices should you care to know: Black cherry for the baby. Birthday cake for the boy in the middle. Cookie dough for the T. And for some reason I got mint chip even though I don't even like mint chip (why did I do that? I'm serious right now.) So then I tried to trade my mint chip with Quinny's black cherry, but she refused to trade. "No! No fank you! I wan, mine!" I didn't get a flu shot with the rest of my lot so I had little bargaining power and just ate the darn mint. Next time I'm letting my little girlfriend order for me.
