True Customer Tales: Skeleton Head

mom and kid in doorway, mom browsing our cheapo VHS stuff, kid bouncing around:

girl, impatiently: can we leave?

mom: not until I'm done looking.

girl: are you looking for a scary movie?

mom: You don't stop buggin' me I'm gonna get this movie about the Ice Cream Man, then you'll never want no ice cream again!

girl: What does the Ice Cream Man did? Is that a scary movie?

girl, looking at box art, volume escalating: What's this? What's this? Mom, what's this? WHAT'S THIS! WHAT'S THIS!

mom, muttering: skeleton head.

girl: why there's a skeleton head in that ice cream?

mom: maybe he likes it that way?



She bought a couple of movies (not Ice Cream Man, alas) and gave the change to her daughter.

girl, dancing: Hahahahah! Now I've got TWO monies! Ahahahahah!

mom: Yes, yes you do.
