Ice Cream

Flashback...
Three year old max was sitting on the corrugated, concrete front step, his grinning mouth, sun-burnt nose, and sticky hands covered in creamy chocolate ice cream. His sticky tongue and mouth was slowly devouring it, savoring the rich flavor. A joyful barking was heard signalling the bounding approach of the family's huge, slobbery golden retriever, Sunny. The happy, but uninvited guest to Max's ice cream, had come hoping to get a bite of the creamy goodness. Being told to "Go away!" didn't phase Sunny as she lunged leaving the step with a crying max and a full stomach.
