Today was a free day. Laundry was done, leftovers in the fridge and work was for tomorrow. I asked Ella yesterday what she would like to do on her day "off". I was prepared for some crazy response like go to the moon or breed unicorns but instead her request was food related. Today was officially Ice Cream and Popcorn Day! Bet you forgot to buy a card. Don't worry there is always next year. So in an effort to make a learning experience out of it...because it's always about learning...ugh I hate myself...we went to the only Filipino ice cream parlor in the Chicago-land area. I smiled at the staff, because I'm obviously part of the club. I at least have honorary membership as my girls are "Mestizas". I tried to talk Ella into a little Halo-halo but instead settled for the true cultural experience, Superman ice cream. The guy behind the counter covered it in sprinkles much to her delight. Thankfully I am able to have a bit more pull with Viv. She and I shared some maiz ice cream. Who knew corn could taste so good? We can't wait to try this place out with Lolo and Lola!
