I-C-E C-R-E-A-M

Daddy had gotten home late from church, but Mommy had a nice lunch cooked up. Still hungry, he stood in the kitchen and announced to Mommy he had a hankering for some ice cream.

"Ice cream!" Madison blurted out, seemingly jumping out of nowhere. Uh-oh! She heard the magic word!

Daddy wondered out loud if it was too late to take what he just said back: "Too late?" I asked.

Madison immediately said, "Not too late!" As she said this, she made the hand gesture for daytime, letting both of us know that it wasn't too late at night yet to have ice cream!

It was a really funny moment. And yes, we had to give her ice cream. We did, after all, say the magic word.

I guess we'll have to spell it from this point on!
