Mister Softee

I adore the Mister Softee ice cream truck. I absolutely will not, cannot, get ice cream from another ice cream truck. That just ain’t happening, which, well, sucks for me, since I now live where there are no Mister Softee trucks (but I am considering franchising one). For 26 summers, I enjoyed ice cream from this truck.
The woman who runs it is super friendly, and still remembers my sister and I, and asks about our family. Her husband is often with her as well, as they make their city-​wide playground stops. She even knows what I want — a cartwheel. Crisp chocolate wafers with vanilla soft serve in the middle. Occasionally, I would vary and go for the devil’s delight (I think that’s the name) — vanilla soft serve in a cone with the crunchy topping. Besides various soft serve cones and sundaes, the truck also sells frozen novelties. But really, if you want a strawberry shortcake bar or Choco-​Taco, go to the store and buy it. This is where you go to get a cartwheel.
