"Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone."
-Jim Fiebig
When I was really young, my grandmother bought me my favorite flavor ice cream at my favorite ice cream parlor. (Yes, an actual old fashioned ice cream parlor) I was so sad. I remember as the steamy tears welled up and started to spill over my heartbroken eyes, a very nice parlor lady gave me a brand new ice cream cone with an extra scoop at no charge. I was so happy I literally could have died. :)
Sometimes your ice cream scoop is going to fall on the ground, and even you, will want to cry. There is no shame in crying, especially in extreme disappointment. Sometimes a nice parlor lady will give you a new scoop of ice cream. Sometimes you won't receive a new scoop of ice cream. But never be ashamed to cry. Disappointment never is forever, it's only a small hill on your path of life. Next time your ice cream scoop falls off your cone try to look on the bright side. If you're this disappointed now, imagine how happy you will be when you finally walk through this disappointment.
