How long has it been?

Since you've had ice cream in a cone? When I was a little girl, my grandmother and I would always stop on our way home from any trip to Waco or Temple and get a dipped cone each from McDonald's. I loved to eat the crunchy chocolate shell off first. The cone I ate sides first and then the bottom was always eaten all at once, the cold hurting my teeth as I chewed so that I had to use the roof of my mouth and lips to mash the cone up. I just picked up some ice cream from the food court downstairs and it reminded me of how much fun is lost when you eat ice cream the grown up way, with a spoon. Yet another reason why being a grown up just isn't as much fun.
