myth!

You get to eat ice cream when you have your tonsils taken out.

Not only is it not true that you get to eat all the ice cream you want, but you cannot eat ANY ice cream. Apparently, the dairy in the ice cream leaves a coating on your throat that impedes the healing process. So, if you are going to have your tonsils out, be prepared: it's just popsicals and ice chips for you...sucker

But you do get ice cream when you have dental surgery. And pudding, just as long as it doesn't have solids in it (eg rice pudding). Though, that might have also had something to do with being 10 years old.

The other option is to increase the pain meds and say screw the doctor and eat the ice cream anyway. Yeah for narcotics.
