Ice cream story

I thought I would share another story from my time with the Minnemas. After nearly a full day seeing sights in Groningen, Ankie and I decided get groceries and head home. We picked out some ice cream to eat after dinner. One flavor she said her, Sanne, and Wiebe would like and the flavor I picked she said Henk would like as well. After dinner we all enjoyed some ice cream. When we were done and the ice cream was back in the freezer, Ankie said, "You know where the ice cream is, you can help yourself if you'd like." I said okay and I kept that in mind.

The next night after dinner, Ankie asked Sanne to get the ice cream out of the freezer. Worried that I had helped myself too much and too unexpectedly, I said, "Uh, do you mean the same ice cream we had last night?" Knowing by my tone what that meant Ankie replied, "Oh, you finished it!" And laughed and laughed.

Then she told Sanne to get the other flavor. At this moment I was thinking, how do I tell them I finished more than just the one flavor and all I could think to do was to interrupt Sanne getting the other flavor by saying, "Ummm..." Now Ankie realized I had finished all the ice cream and everybody laughed, but I felt kinda bad. So... the Minnema family found out my weakness for ice cream.

By the way: We filled up our freezer again, so when you come back, there's more for you ;)
