Ice

by carolynholm

Dear Mom,
I’m protecting the earth from climate change.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That’s good to hear! We all have to step up, even cats.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
That’s me! I AM stepping up!!!!!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That’s wonderful! So, meanwhile, what are you doing with that bowl of ice cubes?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I’m stepping up to protect the earth and save us all!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That’s definitely a good thing to aspire to, sweetie! But it begs the question: what does this bowl of ice cubes have to do with saving the earth!?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I am making sure this ice doesn’t melt.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
I love your enthusiasm, but I’m not sure this will save us.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
It will!!! It will!!! Ice is melting from climate change! It’s science!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Your bowl of ice is all that stands between us and global catastrophe?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia, 
I wish that were so. But sweetie, it’s more complicated than that.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Every little bit helps. 
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Fair enough. Every little bit.
Love, Carolyn
