There's a family-run ice cream place not far from our house called Soc's. We've been going there once a week or so after dinner for a treat. Last night Carol and I decided to go but we didn't tell the kids that was where we were going. I just said, "Girls, get in the car. We have a surprise."
They started guessing.
"Is it a puppy?"
"Is it a kitty?"
And a few other equally out-of-scale-relative-to-ice-cream guesses I can't remember.
When we pulled into the ice cream place, Audrey was very disappointed. The poor girl has a very active imagination and had convinced herself she was getting something really special. We felt bad.
Next time I'll just say, "Do you guys want to go get ice cream?"
