Ice Cream Wishes

Anpan and Nemu ponder the possibilities of the ice cream truck... and come to some pretty amazing conclusions....

Have any of you had those memories as a child -- when adults attempt to explain a place or thing, and your imagination is far better than reality?

One such experience for me was, believe it or not, COSTCO.

Costco just arrived in Hawaii and it was only open via membership thru referral (this was the late 1980s, BTW.) My family used to go on beach picnics with my extended relatives on my mom's side of the family and my uncle was describing the breadth and depth of Coscto. From his description, it sold anything and everything -- SUPER SIZED. When I asked even cars, he said "yes" -- and that totally blew my mind. Could not even imagine how all of that fit in one store.

Perhaps you can say I was somewhat impressed, but underwhelmed when my family and I went for the very first time.

Imagination can be so much better than reality.

... but I digress~ <3
