My wife sent me the following exchange via e-mail today, a conversation between herself and Ani, who’s three and not quite a half:
A lunchtime conversation:
Ani: My ice cream is too cold to eat.
Me: Well, you can wait and let it warm up, but it will melt.
Ani: I can eat it when it’s melted.
Me: Yes, but you might have to drink it through a straw. Ice cream is like Frosty the Snowman — it melts.
Ani: Chocolate melts.
Me: Yes. What else melts?
Ani: I don’t know.
Me: Does ice melt?
Ani: Yes.
Me: Do strawberries melt?
Ani: No.
Me: Do popsicles melt?
Ani: Yes.
Me: Do people melt?
Ani (in that of-course-not-you’re-so-silly tone): No! (Then matter-of-factly): They die, though.
Smart kid. Wise, maybe. Just saying.
