The grocery store ice cream aisle hit different when you're a dad

Used to just grab whatever ice cream looked good. Now I stand there for 5 minutes because my daughter wants the one that 'matches her backpack' and my son needs to make sure we have something chocolate. Meanwhile other shoppers are just grabbing stuff and moving on. I miss being that person. But also these little decisions make them happy so joke's on me I guess.

And you know one of them will take one lick and hate it. Then it's in the freezer for 8 months before you throw it out. I've started just buying the basics and letting them pick toppings instead.

Used to be in and out. Now I'm reading labels, checking for dairy-free options, making sure nobody picks the one that destroys everyone's stomach. Grocery shopping hit so different as a dad.

Ha! The ice cream aisle paralysis is real. I'm standing there trying to remember which flavor my son hates now and whether my wife is on one of her ice cream boycotts.
