My son asked if we could get something. I said 'sure, but I'm not paying $8 for a popsicle.' He said 'why not?' I said 'because I'm not a very cool dad.' Took me three tries before he got it. Worth it.
That's a solid dad joke right there, not gonna lie. We do ice cream runs after dinner now and it's become our thing, so sometimes you gotta cave a little.
Eight bucks for a popsicle is wild, but your son got a laugh and a memory out of that response which is better anyway.
I've started telling my kids the ice cream truck only sells to kids whose dads are really fast runners. Then I sprint after the truck. Gets a laugh and they forget about spending money.
Eight dollars is absolutely insane. We discovered the local ice cream shop charges like three bucks and we just go there instead. Same soft serve, way less damage to the wallet.
