I walked into Mom's room with an evening cocktail.
"What have you got?"
A drink, I answered.
"No! How many ice cubes are in that glass?"
Uhm, I don't know.
"Well, I can see from here there are more than two!"
Well, yes. Yes, there are.
"Wasteful! I just don't understand why anybody would need more than two ice cubes for a glass of anything."
I thought back to the metal ice cube trays we had as kids. It was a step up from chopping at a block of ice...but we had only two trays and unless we had a bowl in the freezer, which was not allowed because that wasted space, you pulled the metal lever, got TWO ice cubes and left the rest. Mercy to the person who took the last two ice cubes and failed to fill up the tray with water.
I think I get it.
And...so it goes.
