Chocolate or Vanilla?
by Lynn S. M.


Chocolate or vanilla ice cream? Which should I choose? Chocolate is my Dad’s favorite, vanilla is my Mom’s. They took me to our regular ice cream parlor shortly after letting me know they were separating. I guess they thought it would soften the blow. Or maybe they want me to choose between them, as usual. Mom or Dad? Vanilla or chocolate? Which will it be?

Finally, I make my choice: chocolate vanilla swirl. I want it all.
