i didn't understand :/
I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
Without ice cream, there are only screams.
Sounds like HP Lovecraft wrote a book about parenting.
thanks!
I just want you to know you just gave me my new life moto

The word scream has lost all meaning to me now, thanks!
By no means do I want to appear pedantic, but isn't it "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!"?
That's how I learnt it forever ago, so the way you folks are saying it sounds...well, weird. lol
Guess it depends how you arrange the cups growing up :)
This is based on a classic saying, "you scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream". In case you're not a native speaker or it's not obvious from text, the saying is based on the fact that "I scream" and "ice cream" sound similar, so it's a bit of a pun. However, without the last part of the saying which references "ice cream", it just sounds like there's a bunch of screaming, which is pretty terrifying!
