    That’s not very nice, trying to scam a kid out of their cool leaf for a measly ice cream.

    A cool leaf for a bomb pop is highway robbery. That’s worth an okay leaf at best.

    Okay, yeah, funny story, but are these the bomb pops that you can buy in a box of 20 for like $4? Or do ice cream trucks get something different? I need to know.

      The ice cream they sell at my local public swimming pool has “not for individual resale” written on the packaging.

    How would you know the temperature of the leaf, unless you took it from the kid anyway?!

    Do we have a kidsarefuckingstupid community? We should

    Edit: I guess people haven’t heard about the joke sub that posted silly stories about kids doing illogical things. Ya know, kids being kids.

    I’m willing to settle for c/kidsarefuckingadorable if there is no similar community yet

      As funny as those subs were, imortalizing a child on the internet doing something stupid is pretty fucked up.

      If they’re not old enough to have scocial media, they certainly are not old enough to be on scocial media.

      Although, I suppose anonymous stories like this one are fine.

        Nah it’s more stories like this post. A meme community to share kid stories that are a mix between dad/parent humor and absurd/illogical/stupid scenarios (through the lens of an adult, but makes perfect sense for the kid). Like this:

      I have a leaf collection from when I was a kid - this kid very well might grow up and still have that cool leaf. People assume kids will just throw them away, but it’s not necessarily true. That leaf is probably even more than just a cool leaf to her now, because now she’ll also have the memory of nearly losing it to an ice cream man.

      There was a lot of general child-hate on that sub. If people are going to have a community here posting when kids doing weird or silly things, let’s not name it something that will attract toxic garbage
