Ice-cream!!!

Fred was out all day driving his semi.  Then he called home with a message.  He said he had a big surprise!  Everyone was so excited and could hardly wait to see what it was.  Their imaginations were running wild with all the possibilities.  

Ed and Ted sat in the window watching for him to arrive.  Finally they shouted "He's here!  He's here!" and they all went to the door to see what the surprise was.  Fred drove in and on the trailer of his truck were 3 big tubs of ice-cream!  None of them had ever had ice-cream before but they knew it looked like something they would like.  

Emilio told them to line up and he would hand out bowls.  There was a tub of chocolate, a tub of vanilla, and one of neopolitan (3-flavor) ice-cream.  Lola squealed "we need chocolate syrup!" and ran to get a bottle of it.  She knows that everything is better with chocolate syrup.  Emilio brought out a bowl of nuts.  Alphonso got the whipped cream.  Raoul went to get the sprinkles while he waited his turn.

They had so much fun choosing what flavors they wanted and adding their toppings.  Of course Alphonso had vanilla with whipped cream ... he would probably have liked other flavors but he didn't want to get dirty.  He was very happy with vanilla though, and sat off to the side to eat it safely.

Once everyone had a bowl full of ice-cream and had chosen all the toppings they wanted they all sat down and dug in.  It got very quiet except for the sounds of slurping and "nom nom nom" as they gobbled it up.  

Chico was eating his ice-cream when all of a sudden he closed his eyes tight and yelled "BRAIN FREEZE!".  Very soon the rest of them were feeling it too.  Ned tried to explain to them that they needed to slow down but nobody would listen.  They would take a few bites, then yell "BRAIN FREEZE!" and once it passed they would do it all over again.  They all sat together on the floor eating, laughing and having brain freezes. 

Emilio looked at Julio and saw that he had whipped cream on his nose.  Emilio pointed and laughed at him.  UpYours saw that Emilio also had whipped cream on his nose and he started to laugh too.  It turned out they all had whipped cream on their noses and were all laughing at each other.

Ed and Ted finished their ice-cream first.  They loved it so much they even licked their bowls clean.  They were such a mess - they were both covered in ice-cream with smeary, sticky faces.  Then they looked at each other and yelled "FONSO!" together.  Alphonso had just finished eating his vanilla ice-cream and was very pleased that he managed to stay nice and clean until he saw the twins coming.  They chased him all over the room laughing and saying "Give me a hug!!"

Alphonso ran as quickly as he could but they were too fast for him ... nobody can out-run Ed and Ted.  They hugged him and got their ice-cream faces all over him.  

Finally everyone was done eating.  They all had round full bellies and sticky faces and hands.  It was definitely time for a bath.  They all hopped into the tub to rinse off and relax.  Ed and Ted spun around in the water and made lots of bubbles.  Finally when everyone was all clean they got dried off and headed for bed.  They all gave Fred a hug and thanked him for bringing home such a wonderful treat.
