I was hustling my briefcase, assorted extra paperwork, keys and a cup of coffee to my car. A few minutes behind schedule and fretting because the clerk at the service station had spent too much time just chatting with another customer. As I approached my car I was met by a bounding, skipping 5 year old singing happily that, "This is the first creemee of the season!" His slightly older sister and his mother followed right behind also celebrating this milestone, one day before spring officially began. I didn't stop for a creemee, but I did smile, slow down and wish more people my age would sing improvised lyrics and bouncing melodies about the first creemee of the season. Still learning....
