I went canoing with my friends yesterday afternoon. I was in that dingy for three hours, either racing Michael's canoe or paddling equally as hard to catch up to everyone else. Needless to say, when I got home I was tired. I ate two dinners, showered, changed into my PJs, and then passed out on the couch. Dad was blaring The Matrix on TV, so I never actually slept. I would raise my head and moan, "ice creeeeaaam," every once in a while, because even though I'd eaten a truckload, I was still hungry after the day's exertion. We had no ice cream in the house, and I wasn't about to change out of my jim-jams to go get some. So, "ice creeeaaam," about every fifteen minutes.
Then my aunt calls and says, "Brusters is giving out free ice cream to anyone who shows up in their pajamas today."
Yeah boy. So my mom and Marie pull on their nightshirts and we all pile into my aunt's minivan and go to Brusters. It was amazing. There were so many people in their pajamas standing around the shop, it looked like a loony bin field trip. And it wasn't just a free scoop of ice cream. They gave you a large waffle cone stuffed with a pint of ice cream. It was like an ice cream orgy! There was so much, so fast, and everyone was sharing and trading cones. A magical frozen dairy experience indeed.
So remember, people. March 1st is free ice cream at Brusters! I wish I'd known sooner, so I could actually invite people or plan something. Oh well! Mmmmmmm.
