Transcript

My daughter wanted a snow cone but for $4.50, I went home and made our own snow cone. I waited until she got out of school, then I started prepping it right before she got in the door. And yes, I used a little bit of sugar, so don't get on me talking about she just fed her kids some ice. Voila, it's a snow cone for your baby. Oh, she loved it.
