The Music Truck

The Music Truck

Every Monday around 5pm the music truck drives down our street. It is this really cool white truck with all sorts of colorful pictures on the side and a big opening. I have been watching this truck every Monday since I first heard it come down our street 2 years ago.

When I asked mom and dad where the music was coming from, they just answered “the music truck”. How nice that this neat looking truck comes to play music on our street once a week.

Except..... I am starting to wonder if the music truck does more than play music? You see, it drives really slow and sometimes stops altogether and although the music is still playing, I see people, mostly kids, going to visit it. Recently I saw some kids eating their popsicles near the truck.. I started to ask mom about it the other night when it stopped in front of our house. We were inside and I was perched on my red chair where I always look out the window and started to ask mom about it but then she said it was time for my bath and tried to hurry me away..

Call it intuition but I feel like there is more to this “music truck” business than they are letting on.. I am just not quite sure what yet.. You see I have good instincts, especially when I suspect food may be involved.. So, my advice to you is never to take things your parents say at face value but I have to admit it is nice to stop and enjoy the music once in a while.
