Gina pinched her nose, hard. "Okay, run this by me again."

Andy and Leah exchanged glances. "Well," Andy said, drawing it out, "we wanted to make ice cream."

"It said," Leah piped up, "it said turn it on first, I read it, it said."

Andy ignored her. "So we put everything in and we turned it on, only it froze, and then it kind of—"

"Exploded," Gina finished, and sighed. Exploded and covered the kitchen with milk, cream, and honey. She turned. "And what do you have to say for yourself?"

Ivy grinned hopefully. "It sounded like fun?"

God.

Gina, if the Lord really wanted to test you, you would come home to find Ivy scraping ice cream mixture off the kitchen walls with a SPOON. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Love it!

[bookblather]

There was a sponge involved at least! Ivy has learned that much.

Thank you! And thanks for the idea. :D

Well, if the instructions said to turn it on first, that can hardly be their fault. XD

[bookblather]

Actually they turned it on second, which was the problem. Leah tried to stop them, but Ivy and Andy aren't real good at listening while charging ahead. XD

Thanks!

[rosarum]

It really is all fun and games until something explodes...

[bookblather]

At least this time it was harmless, yeah.

Thanks!

[kay_brooke]

Haha, Ivy. She would be involved! Gina loves them all anyway. :)

[bookblather]

Of course! She's the instigator usually. XD

Thanks!

[shipwreck_light]

I have actually seen this happen!

And this fic perfectly captures that moment.

When you realize the ice cream maker.

HAS FAILED YOU.

Also LOL.

ICE CREAM MAKEEEEEEER *SHAKES FIST AT HEAVENS*

Thank you. :D

Oh, those two are Ivy's kids, alright. I think Gina's on her own here.

[bookblather]

Andy is, anyway. Leah tried to stop them.

Thank you!
