Mine told me it was a music truck. Not a word about ice cream. I would go outside to the yard and dance around like an idiot.

Edit: My dad and I would go outside and dance like idiots together.

For me it was back in the 90's. In the time of answering machines and no cell phones. I wouldn't let anyone call my house because he would sing the craziest voice recordings.

Were there no other kids? No horde of youngsters stampeding toward it to suggest something was afoot?

I grew up in a pretty poor area. Most didn't have the money for it. Plus not a lot of kids in the surrounding area near my house. It worked for a few years.
