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.
A cool leaf for a bomb pop is highway robbery. That's worth an okay leaf at best.
That's not very nice, trying to scam a kid out of their cool leaf for a measly ice cream.
She knows what she's got.
I ain't takin any low-ballers here!
In an effort to teach my kid about money, I offered to give my kid $1 to buy the rocks in their pocket. They said yes, but took my dollar and tried to walk away. After wrestling the dollar back, it became a uneasy truce where we both hand things back at the same time.
And halfway through, my kiddo said this was dumb and gave me some of his rocks if I left him alone.
There's no meaning to this story.
Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is
I mean, he learned haggling? Usually that happens BEFORE the exchange of money but... It's a start I suppose
he learnt theft and bribery.
That's a dumb story. I give you my upvote. Now leave.
If they try to stay will you wrestle your upvote back?
Kid destroyed LTV in a fell swoop
Marxists in shambles
How would you know the temperature of the leaf, unless you took it from the kid anyway?!
They must have thermal vision, it's the only explanation.
Everyone knows the ice cream trucks are operated by reptilians.
By the Yautja.
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
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
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.

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:
Those ones are fun
"children bad"
- former child
Takes one to know one.
It's an opinion formed by personal experience.
I can attest to that opinion
Well yeah it's sarcastic, obviously 9 out of 10 times it's adorable. But also really stupid in a funny way
more like kidsareadorable
But this kid wasn't. How else should she react?
The guy thinks he can get the $1 trillions leaf for an ice cream 🤑
