Funny Friday: Pieces of Ice
posted August 16th, 2008 by Shannon
This morning I was gathering up the water bottles for today’s bike ride. George had previously filled up all the bottles and placed them in the frig, but Tiger had gotten his out of the frig, used it at breakfast, and left it empty. I was filling his water bottle at the sink when he walked into the kitchen and said he wanted cold water from the refrigerator.
There’s a small pitcher in the frig that the kids use to fill their water cups when they are thirsty. George and I don’t use it often so I forget about it. Thinking it would be a nice mommy thing to do, I give a little sigh and then reply that I can do that for him. The water currently in his bottle is poured out and the bottle is re-filled with cold frig water. The lid is screwed back on and I’m gathering up all the bottles when he adds one last request.
“… And five pieces of ice, too.”
I reply that we are running late. I’ve already filled his bottle with cold water and I just don’t have time to put five pieces of ice in too. He stops, thinks, and then replies as he walks out of the kitchen.
“Okay…..just four pieces of ice then.”

Haha, that’s funny. So, did he get his ice or did you talk him down to 3, then 2, then 1, and finally 0?
Nope, he didn’t get any ice.
OK – so how did the bike ride go?
How many miles are you/your family riding now on your bike rides? I guess next weekend is the big 25-mile race!
We rode 18 miles that day. We did take a lunch break in down town though. Kat is doing incredibly well. We have yet to make a 25 mile ride, but we’ll get that chance this weekend!
