When I look at this picture now I see an excited young child ready to devour the delicious goodness of a creamsicle aka 50/50 bar....Little does he know he is in for a hurtin.I accompanied my son to his friends 5th Birthday party, Yeah! It was his first birthday bowling bash! Upon leaving the party, my son saw the ice cream vending machine with the mechanical arm that retrieves your selection. I thought it would be cool to watch and also cause I was eyeing the 50/50 bar for myself. My son decided on the chocolate eclair, those are quite delicious as well, but my sights were on the hard orange Popsicle shell and vanilla inside. As I open his ice cream eclair and walked out in the scorching sun, I opened my ice cream bar ready to devour like that young boy in the picture above. Upon my first taste of the childhood favorite, my lips and tongue were stuck to the Popsicle!! (Think Dumb and Dumber - Tongue on ice cold pole scene). I attempted to pull the bar from my lips and tongue and they would stretch out stuck to the bar. Every time i would try to lick the areas which were stuck on my lips with my tongue, my tongue would keep getting stuck as well. Well in the moment, I panicked and started to twist the creamsicle to release my lips from the ice cream bar...it worked, however in the process I pulled chunks of skin from my lips!! Picture(s) attached.
This was definitely a teaching in patience and humility. I mean, I was walking out in broad daylight and had a creamsicle, "the childhood favorite" stuck and hanging from my lips and tongue, with blood running down by lips and the ice cream bar as I am twisting my lips from it and at least 20 - 25 people looking at me...yup I was embarrassed.
