Good God, it's hot here! The heat index is predicted to top out around 107F today. The "dog days" of summer are bearing down upon us. I always seem to have an ice cold glass of Diet Pepsi in hand, whether it's hot outside or not - but especially now that it's sweltering.
I've noticed for a while when I get ice out of the freezer from the ice maker bin that at least one ice cube "jumps" from the bin onto the floor. It never fails. It's almost as if the cubes have a mind of their own. Maybe they conference while the freezer door is closed, "Okay, now when she comes to grab a few of us next time to put in her glass, who will be the volunteer to make a break for it?" It doesn't matter how careful I am, either - there's always one, the sacrificial ice cube, that falls to the floor. I don't get it - if it doesn't end up in my glass it winds up in the sink anyway. What's their point? Maybe they just want to see me bend over when I pick it up? That must be it. I have perverted ice cubes.

The Sacrificial Ice Cube

I have observed for many years now that some ice cubes are jumpers. Don't know why, but that's the way it is. Thankfully, they don't scream on their way down to the floor. That would be quite upsetting. ;-)
I have to agree. That happens a lot - and it would be quite frightening if, as e.craig mentioned, they actually screamed.
I seriously doubt mine are sacrificing one of their own to see me bend over and pick it up, though.
Oh yes, e.craig, the screaming would be quite alarming and enough to send me over the edge of sanity! Oh...wait...
rwa, I dunno, they seem to like to do it to all shapes, sizes, and genders...don't discount the possibility! ;-) lol
You have perverted ice cubes? That's funny.
