winter frosting

When I picked up Lex from school today he asked me if he could scrape off all the frosting tomorrow.

I didn't really know what he was talking about, but he still had frosting all over his face from a cupcake he'd finished just before I got there. He does prefer to just scrape off the frosting from whatever cake he gets. He doesn't eat much cake, but loves frosting.

I told him I didn't think we were having frosting tomorrow.

He said he thought we would, and he held up my window scrapper and told me he'd use it to scrape off all the frosting.

"Why would you use that?" I asked.

"Because it works good! I'll scrape all the frosting off our windows just like you did this morning!"
