- Now, now, mothers, where is your sense of humor, and, children, where is your philosophical viewpoint? Let the mothers whisper jollity to each other that months hence, when they recall this unusual awful picnic, they will laugh and laugh. Let them bring understanding smiles to the dessertless tots by explaining that one ice cream more or less in a lifetime doesn’t matter at all. Let them change that little girl’s tears into sunny indifference by informing her that within a few years the lad over by Amos Sewell’s signature will be competing for the privilege of buying her ice cream. On second thought, these remedies won’t work; so somebody better motor five miles fast for a refill in that bucket before this all winds up in a riot.
