My daughters and I were out Christmas shopping today in near freezing cold to find some gifts for my wife. We were dressed warmly enough, but it struck me as odd that my older daughter kept asking if she could have an ice cream. Several of the usual gelato outlets in our town were understandably closed at this time of year, so I thought I would get off the hook by simply explaining that want it or not, it was an impossible request to fulfill. Later, however, she spied one store that was open and reminded me again how hungry she was from all the walking and that she wanted a gelato. I asked her, "Why do you want a cold gelato on such a cold day?" Her answer caught me off guard:
"Because they don't make warm gelato."
After a good chuckle, I had no recourse but to buy her one and let her chill herself from the inside...
