Ice Cream Anyone?

Today was a hot, humid, rainy Monday. We had gone out this morning to run errands, which included taking the boys to the grocery store. As a treat, we bought ice cream, and this afternoon, the boys and I sat down to a dish. Steve sat on the floor and Sadie, the little beast, sat down next to him, hoping for some too. The boy held his dish away from her (it seemed to be at least a foot away from her nose) and tried to get her to lay down and be good while he enjoyed. The boys have commented for a year on how long her tongue is, it is often hanging out the side of her mouth, sometimes laying directly on the floor while she is resting. Today they saw what that LONG tongue is good for - while Steve was trying to get her to lay down, she stuck that tongue out right into his bowl and had herself a good lick!! Steve (my teenage boy who never seems to be full anymore) looked into his bowl, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Oh, well, I'll eat it anyway - it is ice cream!"
