One of the quintessential sounds of summer. Sure, some people find it annoying, but it always brings a smile to my face. Just thinking of the sound conjures up a hot, summer day.
We convinced my son they were just Music Trucks and that they traveled the neighborhoods in the summertime to bring music to anyone who didn't have a radio.
It worked for about a year and a half, but one day he came to me with a frown and said, "I want to SEE the music truck." He could read at that point, so I knew the gig was up. :-D
Author of five novels, most recently THE BLESSINGS OF THE ANIMALS and my first book for tweens, REASONS TO BE HAPPY. Gardener, runner, cook, cat lover, caffeine & movie addict.
I find it makes me reflexively reach for my wallet. I am never so Pavlovian as when the Ice Cream Truck goes by.
ReplyDeleteYep, me too! Conjures up such fond childhood memories. The sound of summer, for me.
