Ice Cream Man That Charged Girl $20 For Ice Cream Sandwich Regrets His Decision

Little Angie

Little Angie couldn’t believe what had just happened to her. The rude man thought he could get away with what he had done, but he didn’t know who her father was.

Was it an accident? Or did he really think he could get away with it?

Either way, it was a cruel thing to do, and her dad was going to make sure that the ice cream man paid for it.

Crying

Angie cried after what happened to her. She had no idea that people in the world could be that cruel. It wasn’t even her money; it was her dad’s, and he wouldn’t be as forgiving as she was.

The little girl also wanted to get some payback on the nasty man. She needed to tell her dad everything.

She just hoped that he wouldn’t overreact like he sometimes did.

Telling Dad

Angie knew she couldn’t hide it from her dad. Her father immediately noticed the sadness in her eyes.

She could only avoid his questions for so long. She would just tell him the truth.

Her dad would ask for his change anyway. This meant that there was no getting around it. She would have to tell him what had happened. But she had no idea what he would end up doing.

Watching Sport

Little Angie came back into the house with her ice cream, but nothing else.

She saw her father sitting on the couch watching Saturday sports. She knew he wouldn’t like what had happened.

She grabbed his attention away from the sport he was watching and said, “Something happened.” He immediately whipped around with a look of concern.

Short-changed

“I got the ice cream, but I don’t think there was any change. The man didn’t give me any, at least,” She nervously told her father.

He was glued to his television set, enjoying his sports game. But as soon as he heard those words leave his daughter’s mouth, something inside of him woke up.

He turned to his daughter, a grave look on his face.

An Idea

The dad couldn’t believe what his daughter had just told him.

He’d given her $20 for an ice cream, and she came back without anything. His blood was boiling. Did he try to pull a fast one on his daughter?

That was it. Angie’s father was already plotting his revenge against the man who had short-changed his daughter. But would he go too far?

Angie Black

Little Angie Black surprised her father with how curious she always was.

She was excited to see more of the world around her and unravel its secrets. But with this curiosity came naivety.

Living on a budget, he couldn’t always spoil her the way he wanted to. But there were still occasions when he saw golden opportunities to surprise his little girl.

Her Favorite Thing

Chris, Angie’s dad, could still remember the first time he bought her an ice cream cake for her birthday.

Ever since then, she has become obsessed with dairy-based desserts.

It was all she ever seemed to want to talk about. Chris thought it was sweet, but just like any kid, she would ignore her healthy food and only want her desserts. He had to stop her.

Cutting It Out

Chris realized he had created a monster. She would try to skip her healthy dinners just to try and get some ice cream if there was any in the fridge.

He knew that it wasn’t going to work, so he’d have to think of a workaround.

That’s when he had to put his foot down. He decided to cut it out of his shopping list entirely. Angie wasn’t happy, to say the least, but it was necessary.

Sulking

For the first few weeks, Angie sulked during dinner time.

She didn’t want to eat her dinner, but with no ice cream to look forward to, she soon cracked.

After a while, she went back to eating her food, knowing that there was nothing better waiting for her. It still made Chris feel bad, but her birthday was coming up.

A Birthday Coming Up

With her birthday around the corner, Chris thought he’d do something special for her. He found the doll that he knew she had been eyeing for a long time.

He knew she’d be ecstatic, but he wasn’t done with the surprises.

He wanted to try and find something that she’d really love. But the father had no idea that he was making a big mistake.

A Cake

Chris wasn’t just going to get her a present.

He was also going to get her a premium cake that he’d seen in a bakery window. It looked extravagant, and he thought Angie would love it.

He bought it the day before her birthday. It was the most expensive sponge cake he’d ever seen, but he wanted to really spoil his little girl. But he had no idea what mistake he was making.

Her Birthday

Finally, her birthday rolled around. She excitedly ripped her presents open and saw the doll she wanted.

She hugged her father and looked on to her other surprises. That’s when she saw the cake.

Her greedy eyes locked onto the cake, and even though it was meant for later, Chris let his daughter eat it early. But that’s when the problem started.

Problems Started

Angie hungrily devoured the cake. Chris was happy to see his little girl enjoying his efforts to make her day special. But that’s when the trouble started.

It hadn’t even been an hour when she started feeling funny.

“Daddy. I don’t feel so good.” Little Angie said as she tugged her father’s shirt. That’s when he noticed it.

Allergic Reaction

Chris could immediately tell that she was having some kind of allergic reaction to the cake.

It was a gourmet cake with all sorts of ingredients. Maybe it was the pecan nuts?

Regardless, he rushed her to the clinic, where she got a shot of epinephrine to save her life. Chris felt as if he had failed his daughter. But then, a unique opportunity arrived out of nowhere.

Ice Cream

After getting home, Angie was feeling a lot better and continued playing with her new toys on the carpet while Chris watched sports on the TV.

That’s when he heard a familiar sound in the distance.

He knew immediately what it was. There was an ice cream van that occasionally came through their neighborhood. He knew he could spoil his daughter with her favorite dessert.

Running Out

Chris quickly gave his daughter the only bill he had in his wallet – a $20 bill. He asked her to buy her favorite ice cream and then bring him the change. He saw the smile on her face.

Chris hailed the van to stop right in front of the gate. He watched her run out to the van and start ordering.

He smiled and headed back inside. He knew she’d be safe with what she had in her pocket.

Rude

But Chris had no idea what his daughter was going through. The ice cream man should have been kind and understanding, but instead, he stared at Angie and said, “What do you want?”

The little girl looked at all the options and finally decided on a chocolate pop with vanilla ice cream in the middle.

It was supposed to only be eight dollars. But it was going to cost Chris a lot more.

Empty Handed

He gave the ice cream to Angie without even adding a napkin. He then told her to “enjoy” and shut the window.

A confused Angie headed back inside. She stared at her empty hand where the change should have been.

Even though she was young, her dad had taught her the importance of finance and how commerce worked. He had short-changed her.

Had No Idea Who Chris Was

Little Angie couldn’t believe what had just happened to her. The rude man thought he could get away with what he had done, but he didn’t know who her father was.

Was it an accident? Or did he really think he could get away with it?

Either way, it was a cruel thing to do, and her dad was going to make sure that the ice cream man paid for it.

Cruel

Angie cried after what happened to her. She had no idea that people in the world could be that cruel.

It wasn’t even her money; it was her dad’s, and he wouldn’t be as forgiving as she was.

The little girl also wanted to get some payback on the nasty man. She needed to tell her dad everything. She just hoped that he wouldn’t overreact like he sometimes did.

Telling Chris

Angie knew she couldn’t hide it from her dad. Her father immediately noticed the sadness in her eyes. She could only avoid his questions for so long. She would just tell him the truth.

Her dad would ask for his change anyway. This meant that there was no getting around it.

She would have to tell him what had happened. But she had no idea what he would end up doing.

Glued To The TV

Little Angie came back into the house with her ice cream, but nothing else.

She saw her father sitting on the couch watching Saturday sports. She knew he wouldn’t like what had happened.

She grabbed his attention away from the sport he was watching and said, “Something happened.” He immediately whipped around with a look of concern.

Taken Advantage Of

“I got the ice cream, but I don’t think there was any change. The man didn’t give me any, at least,” She nervously told her father.

He was glued to his television set, enjoying his sports game. But as soon as he heard those words leave his daughter’s mouth, something inside of him woke up.

He turned to his daughter, a grave look on his face.

Blood Boiling

The dad couldn’t believe what his daughter had just told him. He’d given her $20 for an ice cream, and she came back without anything. His blood was boiling. Did he try to pull a fast one on his daughter?

Chris pulled out his phone and started listening to the conversation between the ice cream man and his daughter.

He had his daughter take a microphone with her in case something happened. Most dads wouldn’t do that, but Chris was in a special line of work.

Rage

His eyes snapped open at the mention of his daughter being mistreated. His rage wouldn’t be contained. He felt old habits coming back to him that he’d promised to give up.

He told his daughter that he was going to make the ice cream man pay.

Now that her father was out of his cage, there was no containing him. Angie had no idea what she had just done.

The Truth

Her father was surprised by the truth. First, he was rude to his little girl. But what bothered him most of all was that someone had stolen from her.

Angie couldn’t stop her father now. But it was the only thing she could do to feel better.

She had to confide in her father. But the next day, she didn’t expect him to do something so brash.

Finding The Ice Cream Man

The next day, Chris was sitting quietly in his living room. The TV wasn’t on this time, something that was an odd occurrence.

But Chris had already laid out his plan. He’d stayed up the previous night plotting his scheme.

Now, he just had to wait patiently until he heard it. It was a Sunday, so the man should have come by any minute.

Hearing It

Then Chris heard it, the ice cream siren. He sprinted outside and waited to ambush him. He hailed the van once again and walked up to the window.

The man didn’t look happy to see him, but he was about to make his life a living nightmare.

Before the man could say anything, Chris flashed his badge. He was a detective for the FBI. The man’s eyes went wide as he recognized the house. He knew what he had done.

Apologies

The man started begging the officer not to do anything. It was clear he knew how much trouble he could get into. But Chris wasn’t done yet.

He smiled at the man who looked like he was ready to wet himself. “I want my change back, and maybe in the future my daughter can get a discount whenever you come by. Got it?”

The man seemed to accept the proposition, and Chris never had to worry about someone exploiting his daughter again.
