Nah, Ritz17 got it right. Crying Lightning is a variant of Crying Wolf. The trick is you go to the ice cream van guy and say you've seen lightning over east and there's a storm coming any second. The idea is to make the ice cream guy think he's going to lose all his stock of ice cream (which will go to waste when everyone goes inside and the sunny day suddenly ends) and so is more likely to give out some free ice creams to the girl and all her friends.
So basically, he used to have fun with this devious chick, but he eventually figured out that she's a bit of a rotten apple!
