Opening a container of ice-cream has the same effect on my family as opening a can of cat food has on my dog and cat.
I try to engage my family in conversation throughout the day on a variety of topics and on different levels. I often get a flat-line of interaction as if I were invisible.
I open a container of ice-cream with the intention of eating the whole thing by myself. I’m immediately surrounded by all 3 family members. Standing in the kitchen, they each find a spoon and consume the pint of ice-cream. When the yummy goodness was gone, they dispersed like cockroaches when the light is turned on.
I guess this is why they call it an “ice-cream social.”
