Frozen water

This is one of my favorite toys! There is this big silver box in the kitchen that is cold when Mom opens it (I still try to get it in). Its got a black hole in the door that Mom and Dad stick a glass in and it makes a very neat crunchy noise. It always makes me come running to check it out. Every so often, Mom or Dad would drop one of these cool toys. Its like the water in my water dish, but hard and cold! And it slides really neat on the kitchen floor. I like to run after it, and every so often stop and lick it, it is so nice and cool. But it gets smaller and smaller as I play with it, and pretty soon it doesn't slide so well. But I still love it. Now, I always wait patiently for Mom or Dad to give me one if they put the glass in the door and make the crunchy noise. Its so much fun! Mom said it is frozen water called ice. She said she saw something similiar, called snow (like fluffy frozen water and white instead of clear) on the way to work this morning on Mt. Diablo. Apparently, this mountain hardly ever gets this white stuff, so Mom was pretty impressed, but it was gone when she came home tonight. I don't care, I just want to make sure to get my frozen water to play with.
