Me: Okay, I'm off. Have a good day!
A: My goal is to always preserve the ice.
Me: Huh?
A: Like, even if there are two spaces, I put more water in.
Me: Oh, you always refill the ice tray? Good job.
A: And it's cool, because then some water goes over the ice that is already in there, and it makes new ice, and then when you take out a square later, when you put it in your drink, it cracks where the new water went.
Me: So it's like a science experiment?
A: Right! [slow, mischievous grin spreads across his face] But the other fun thing to make is ... MICE!!
Me: Huh?
A: Do you know what "mice" is?
Me: No, tell me.
A: It's [raises one palm] milk, that you freeze into [raises other palm] ice. Milk-Ice. Mice!
Me: That's awesome. Ok, I should go to work. Have a good day. Make some mice!
A: Oh, I already did that. You have a good day too.
