Trip To Thrifty's

Butter pecan ice cream on a cone that's what he favored. That's what he got. "What Kind you want, Big Girl?". He'd have to ask her about 5 times between the time they left the house to the time they made it to the service counter at Thrifty's. Every time her response would change. Bouncing on the balls of her tiny little feet, eyes as big as silver dollars, she scanned the freezers. He beamed at his little princess. Smiling at the enormous smile that dressed her pretty little face over tear streaked cheeks. Her smile could brighten the darkest of days. It could warm the coldest of hearts. He promised that he would do anything in his power to make sure she always kept that pretty little smile on her face. Finally, she squealed with delight as she pointed to the chocolate chip ice cream. "In A cup!", she blurted out before the server could ask if she wanted a cup or cone. As always, she batted those long gorgeous eyelashes that he could never say no to. Soon after came her infamous pout. He chuckled and simply said "Aaand?". The innocent little lady pointed to the cookies & cream. Knowing her mother would have a fit for her having two scoop he instructed the young server to place another scoop. "And I want a cone on top. But not a regular cone. This kind." On her tippy toes she reach and pointed to the sugar cones. The man paid the server & watched his little princess smile widely as her handed her her frozen delight. When ever she was sad or mad or needed to talk they'd venture to Thrifty's. She always got a double scoop with a cone & he'd get butter pecan on a cone. It was definitely a daddy-daughter thing.
