The innocence of youth

My five year old daughter has just asked me if I know why the ice cream van plays music. Wanting to encourage her, I said I didn't and asked if she knew.

" It's to make all the children who don't get an ice cream smile."

Never thought of it like that.

    Or in the case of the ice cream man who works Peacock Street in Gravesend, its to annoy the life out the bloke in number 30a where he pulls up outside between 5 and 6 every day.....even when there a cover of snow on the ground!

    Walking away from The Valley on Saturday, my 4-year old observed that "Charlton need to play a bit better". Hard to argue with his logic.

    We always said it was to make the fat kids dance before they was allowed any more ice cream.

    Probably my favorite 80's music was the ice cream van chime!

    It's not an ice-cream van, it's a kipper van.

    OK - you didn't make it up, (eye rolling smiley thing). Why did they do this?

    Do you have a link or reliable source for this? I suspect you don't.
