um did any one notice it says say the op is working that might mean he/she could have been doing something at that point that they couldn't leave...my friend was working form home for 5 months after a gun shot messed up her shoulder so who knows in this situation till the op posts me we wont know and that kid should have known better then to go in to the wallet why should have brought it to the op so they could give them the money i all ways asked before i got and waited till my parents gave me the money there isn't much in this story so we don't know all that happened

Keep an eye on your kid man. If she was too young to know the difference between a 50 and a 1 she's too young to go out by herself to get ice cream. You got off lucky. That I've cream man could have made off with more than 49 dollars...

Only if she bought $50 worth of icecream, then everyone wins.

Wow, that man needs to learn some moral values. It was wrong of him to take advantage of your daughter like that, but pay a little more attention next time, not money ;)

You shoulda got off your lazy ass and gave her the damn dollar. Or just say no!!!

You should have asked her to bring you your wallet. If she's young enough to not know the difference between dollar bills, she shouldn't have been getting ice cream by herself. The ice cream man could have been a creep.

Are IQs among parents slowly decreasing?

Sounds like bad parenting to me if she cant tell the diffrence between a one dollar bill and a fifty why did she go to the ice cream truck alone. If you knew you were going to be too busy for a kid why did you make one?
