Everyday there is something to teach our kids. And every year, I used Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day to teach them ‘Nothing on Earth is Truly Free’.

Though Ben & Jerry is giving cones of ice-cream for free today, Keatkeat learned (once again) that its paid with time, energy and patience.

4.13pm : We joined the queue. Was directly opposite our destination:

Keatkeat had a go at the sure win Q & A. Received a notepad from the sweet Ben & Jerry’s Staff

4.48pm : Just 8 more people before us.

Just before we could grab our ice-cream, Keatkeat dropped in our small donation into the donation box. (See the half ‘Thank You’ signboard above?)
I did not want to take a photo of that because I would be spending lots of time putting the word “Specimen” on all those notes in the transparent donation box, before I could post it up. (I think I have better things to do than that) *wink*

4:51pm : Too busy Licking away. No time for photo-taking. Allan had Strawberry Cheesecake, while Keatkeat and I had Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

Just before we left, 3 drops into the lucky draw box. *fingers crossed*

So what did you teach your child today?
