The things you do for kids

Posted on May 17th, 2008 by Jackie Danicki

Dr. Scott’s adorable boy, Sun Su, turned six today. I remember when Sun Su was born, and can’t believe he’s halfway to adolescence already.

We rented a snow cone machine for the party. I was smashing ice bags for two hours this morning because the machine wouldn’t work unless the ice was in teeny tiny bits. I covered the ice bags with a Hello Kitty towel to keep it from splashing. When the neighbor kids asked why I was repeatedly hitting Hello Kitty in the face with a hammer, I just looked at them and hammered faster.

    Halfway to adolescence? OMG, you’re right! We’ve got to slow this thing down somehow.

    Ooseung has also grown amazingly quickly. She’ll be a teenager in less than a decade. I’m just sayin’.

    Sno cone technology is yet another example of complexity run amok. Old-fashioned hand-cranked ice shavers didn’t require any special ice. The motorized sno cone maker we bought for Marissa’s party requires a solid ice block of very specific dimensions.

    Fortunately, I discovered that it would work with loose ice as long as I had a “rammer block” to interface with the device.

    Guess I’m just going to drive 2 mins down the road and buy everyone a bunch of snow cones rather than get involved in this sort of palaver, then…
