A Happy One

            He was bored and had no one to walk the sidewalks with. At the ice cream stand, he ordered a fudgesicle just for something to do. He turned around and bumped into someone his same height. He shouted.
            “Leroy!”
            The man said something into his cell phone and turned around.
            “Yes?” His eyes opened. “Bobby?”
            “What the hell!”
            He dropped the cell phone. “Bobby!” They hugged, dancing in a joyful little circle. “Is this for real?”
            “I’ve got ice cream!”
            They both laughed. Grinning ear to ear, the two brothers walked off down the street, leaving the cell phone abandoned.
