The Ice Maker

It started with a shriek as Emily came tearing through the kitchen and dining room to where I was sitting in the living room. The rumble of the ice maker had freaked her out. I picked her up, let her sit on my lap for a while, and tried to comfort her. Finally I asked, "Do you want me to sing you the ice maker song?" "Sing the ice maker song, Daddy!" Go ahead...listen to it.

After a while, Lisa poked her head down the stairs and asked why the cat was yowling. I said that it was just Emily and I going "Aaaaaaaah!" Lisa said, "No, it's the cat." Right about then, the cat came wandering down the stairs and was milling around my feet. I decided to go for another stirring chorus of the Ice Maker song. Every time Emily and I went "Aaaaaah!", the cat yowled--predictably. It was hysterical.

So now there is a new favorite song in the house--both for Emily and the cat. Although, Lisa doesn't seem to find it as hysterical as I do. Probably because Lisa's trying to sleep.
