True. Soft ice cream...mmmmmmmmm. Too bad it's so expensive. At the local dairy bar a large vanilla or chocolate cone was $5 the last time I got it. Other flavors are even more (they also have raspberry and coffee). Also if you want a special cone (like waffle) or toppings, it could end up costing almost $10 for an ice cream cone. For that I could buy a steak. Here's a street view of it. I guess they have to charge more for upkeep of the big cone on the roof.
True - for all practical purposes. I did have a younger brother that died when he was 5 days old. That traumatized my parents so much they never tried to have (or prevented having) any more children.
