I want to tell you I??™m a traitor. Not
the kind that swaps one thing for another but one that
is disloyal. But it??™s only once a year and besides
it??™s their fault. I wouldn??™t be a traitor if only ??¦
ok so you don??™t understand what I??™m talking about.
You never do when I start in the middle of a story.
So let me go back and start at the beginning.
Johnnie and I like ice cream. The only
brand of ice cream I will eat is blue bell. I have
eaten blue bell ice cream since before they ran that
commercial on TV with the cow singing and the little
girl running through the field of flowers. I just
won??™t have any other brand in the house.
Oh, there was one time we had another
brand in the house. Our grand daughter, Amanda was
coming to visit with her two kids (our great
grandkids) and she stopped at some store that didn??™t
have blue bell and bought a 1/2 gallon carton of ice
cream. Her kids had been begging for ice cream every
since they left home.
When Amanda got to our house, I was
taking my siesta. She dished up some ice cream for
her kids to keep them quite so they wouldn??™t wake me
up. Now the kids, not knowing any better, dug into
this ice cream like it was going out of style. Anyway
over the two days they were here, they ate all but a
little dab in the bottom of that 1/2 gallon carton of
ice cream.
When they went home I put the rest of
that off brand ice cream in little fox??™s bowl, but she
wouldn??™t eat it either. But that??™s a whole ???nother
story for a different time.
Now let me get on
with telling you why I??™m a traitor. Once a year,
during the thanksgiving/Christmas holidays,
Braums makes
eggnog flavored ice cream. I love the rich, smooth
taste of eggnog. So I buy one 1/2 gallon carton of
Braums eggnog ice cream.
But like I said to start with, it??™s
blue bell??™s fault. All they have to do is make eggnog
flavored ice cream and I might be a trader but I??™d
never turn traitor again.
