Park Slope Parents on Park Slope Parents

If there's one thing more entertaining than making fun of Park Slope parents, it's Park Slope parents making fun of park slope parents!

Get your head around that, ppl!

It's like a riddle wrapped in an enigma, sheathed in an Uncle Moe's burrito (R.I.P).

Thankfully, italian ice gate is still alive and well in week two (not to be confused with ice-cream gate of 2009, natch). In fact, PSP has apparently released their "official response" on the matter, with the following missive:

Cool Or Not Cool: Parents Who Still Fight To Ban Ice Cream in Prospect Park?

I should begin this post with a disclaimer: I am not a parent. I have never been a parent. I hope to one day be a parent, but until then I recognize that I have absolutely no authority on parenting. I say this so that I may nip in the bud any comments suggesting I don’t know anything about parenting. You’re right! I don’t!

Yet this post might upset some parents. Perhaps it’ll make other parents happy. I don’t know exactly what the outcome will be. What I do know is that there is a group of parents threatening one of the most sacred rights of every visitor to Prospect Park: ice cream. And if they're successful, our summers will be a little bit less sweet. Our hot afternoons a little less tuneful. Our appetites less satiated. “Give me ice cream or give me death!” I’ve been known to say. I guess I’ll have to take death, for if a group of radical Park Slope parents with an anti-ice cream agenda have their way, singing trucks full of frozen, creamy, delicious treats and carts of sugary, icy snacks will no longer traverse the open roads and trails of the 585 acre park.

Were you in Prospect Park this past Thursday afternoon? If so, perhaps you caught a whiff of the warm breeze, or a glimpse of the newly-flourishing cherry blossoms in the Botanic Garden.
