The questions he was expecting- Do you like ice cream? What's your favourite flavour of ice cream? What 2 numbers are the name of an ice cream topping? True or false- ice cream is hot? What popular addition to ice cream is also a way of describing someone who cancels plans? Would you like some ice cream?
