First-Time Freezy

   I can't remember if I've written about this before, but it doesn't even matter if I have because you can't enough of a good thing. This summer I was waiting in line for the teller at a bank, after almost getting hit with a streetcar while riding my bike- that part's not important though. What is important is that on this particular summer's day it was hotter outside than the devil's wig. So one of the bank employees came out and offered everyone in line a freezy; me, the older man behind me, and the ancient man behind him.
   For the record, I took blue because blue is the best one. Anyway, the bank lady offered one to the ancient man and he said in the sweetest old man voice, "well I don't know, what is it?". Like imagine an old Jimmy Stewart saying that. Imagine! Well I didn't have to imagine because I saw it with my eyes.
   The not-so-old man proceeded to explain what it a freezy is and as the delicious treat melted in the old man's mouth, my heart melted in my thoracic cavity.
