Listening to the deep freeze

Tonight has been an interesting night of learning for me. I asked my 5 year old buddy if he had any popsicles (we were at his house). A little background, my 8 year old daughter and him are gonna get married someday that is if you ask them. They have it all figured out but anyway back to the Popsicle in the freezer. My Daughter Bonesi, if you will, has been fighting a cold all day and J wanted to take care of her. He asked her what she wanted for bed night snack. She said something cold. She really wanted yogurt but J informed her that if she was sick it could give her diarrhea. I said well I do not know about that because she just has a cold but it could make her more congested he said oh yah that too. I am not sure if he knows the difference between congestion and constipation but the answer made him feel better the same. So Bonesi asked J, " Do you have any Popsicles." J said, "Let me check." I stood back to observe since he can not get the door on the deep freeze opened and can not reach the freezer on top of the fridge I wondered how he was going to check with out my help. Much to my surprise, he knows freezer talk. He put his ear up to the deep freeze and said, "Yes, we have some." I do not know how he did it but there were two boxes in the freezer. When asked if he remembered his mommy buying some he simply stated: " No, you can not hear them in there." I have been listening (after he went to bed of course) but still can not hear the box of Popsicles talking. Oh to be five again.
