What is “it,” anyway?

Tonight Hannah had some ice water to drink while she was watching Frosty the Snowman. (No idea why she wanted ice water when it’s freezing cold outside, but whatever.) When she finished the water, I asked her to go put her cup by the sink, and she said, “But I don’t want it [the ice] to melt!” I told her that was okay, and that she could go put it in the refrigerator so it wouldn’t melt as fast.

Well, hours later, after tucking Hannah into bed, I went to get a drink from the fridge, and what did I find? A little, half-melted ice cube, sitting on the top shelf! She had put her cup by the sink, just like I asked, and put the ice cube in the fridge. I guess I should have been more specific that “it” was the CUP with the ice cube in it.

I thought it was really adorable. I put the ice cube back in the freezer…
