‘Ice with it?’
‘My dad said that was sacrilege.’
‘He liked his scotch warm?’
‘He didn’t like scotch. He just didn’t like others having it with ice. He was a G&T man.’
‘No ice?’
‘Always ice and a slice.’
‘Bit of an odd relationship with ice.’
‘He called me Ice.’
‘Why? He can’t have thought you were cool.’
‘I found it in his phone. My contact was “Ice”. I liked that.’
‘You doofus. It means ‘In Case Of Emergency. You were his nominated contact.’
‘Really? Oh well. At least I was his best pick.’
‘From a small field.’
‘True.’
Morgan and Logan are considering Ice this week, as prompted by Charli Mills’ Carrot Ranch, here
May 23, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story without ice. It can be a world without ice or a summer camp that runs out of cubes for lemonade. What does the lack mean to the story? Go where the prompt leads!
In my Pops phone our names are all followed with ICE!!!

Of course this same man is why I no longer drink! But you can see the centrality of alcohol in his life.

You’re kind. Maybe it’s just another acronym I missed. There are way too many of them in education and they keep changing.
