Here is today's Tuesday 4...
1. What do you think the man in the painting is thinking?
He looks very disapproving of the children and their banana splits. I suspect he is a business man who doesn't like to see these children enjoying those great big splits while he isn't!
2. In your story what kind of sandwich and beverage is he having? I think he is having tea because there is a Bown Betty by him and the sandwich, which appears to be cut in quarters, is probably tuna or egg salad. From this I get the feeling he is a punctilious, picky and prissy kind of man. That would account for the disproval.
3. Do you think he is a stranger to the children or does he know them? Why do you think so? To me he seems like a stranger who disapproves of the ice cream treats and the children! He is also leaning a bit to the side as if to not have any contact with the little girl.
4. Do you keep ice cream at home? Banana splits usually have 3 or 4 scoops of ice cream. What flavor ice cream should be in your banana split?
I rarely have ice cream in the house for myself but I will get some for the kids and as a holiday dessert. As a kid my mother would send me to the corner drug store to buy a half gallon of ice cream. It would be butter pecan, cherry vanilla, or vanilla and chocolate. I really did like cherry vanilla with the big chunks of black sweet cherries in it.
My mother always had Klondike bars in the freezer and I was allowed toby a toasted coconut bar from the Good Humor man when he came around.
For my banana split, I would like all vanilla please! My first banana split was compliments of my grandpa at Woolworths. My grandpa and I watched the trains a lot. We would sit and see them come and go just a block from our house on the main street. Sometimes we would hop on and go to Elizabeth and then one day I had a huge banana split at Woolworths... Vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, cherries, nuts and tons of whipped cream. It was then I learned how delicious bananas and ice cream are together!!

I need to have a banana split once in my life.

Good thoughts about each one today. I agree that he is having tea because of the teapot, but I never thought about the tuna fish sandwich. I said grilled cheese like most everyone else. But I do agree that he is a bit too prissy and isn't comfortable around children, especially potentially messy ones. This was fun today. I love your memories with your grandpa and the trains and Woolworths! Blessings to you today.
ReplyDeleteThat fella does look like he's not a fan of kids. That's OK as long as he doesn't say or do cruel things.
ReplyDeleteThe description of his lunch made me hungry. Now I want a egg salad sandwich. LOL
Now I see why the love for trains. It's a sweet memory of you and Grandpa. That's adorable. We had a Montgomery Wards in Florida. I think they're kinda like Woolworths. It was similar to a 5 & Dime anyway.
Fun post. Hope your evening is blessed. xx
Before I go put some eggs on to boil...haha I am going to make sure I posted at the correct blog. So I know I posted my Friendly Fill In's at this blog. It has been a whirlwind week. Please take care and I sure loved your answers. Your description of that man were perfect to a "T"! Thanks for all you do.
