CAT DID BATTLE
AND TRIUMPHED.
Gather 'round, fair folk, and hear the tale of Cat vs The Ice Cream Bucket.
'Twas (...'tis? Present tense? XD) a cold January evening, and I had A CRAVING. YES. For deep within the freezer, sat a bucket. A bucket of Rocky Road ice cream, 'Extra Special', the bucket told me.
I was convinced.
Upon opening the bucket, I could see a beautiful mixed blend of white and browns, the occasional marshmallow visible on the creamy surface. I grabbed a big spoony-scoop out of the drawer, and drove it toward the ice cream...where it promptly bounced off the top. "No!" cried I, "It is too solid!"
Common sense told me to leave it out and let it melt a little. I ignored it. I wanted my ice cream NAO DAMMIT. D8
So I summoned all my strength and tried again with the spoon. As I tried to scoop, the spoon handle BENT.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE RUINED A SPOON BY NOT WAITING FOR THE ICE CREAM TO MELT A BIT. D8
I had not realised my hand was gripping the edge of the bucket so hard it was starting to really hurt.
ON AND ON, SCOOPING AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH MY BENT SPOON I WENT, MY STRENGTH WANING AND MY HUNGER WAXING, UNTIL...YES! The bowl! It was full!
And now I have nommy nommy Rocky Road ice cream. Extra Special indeed. :D
