After a bad night\u2019s sleep, I get up and start making coffee. While waiting, I think I\u2019ll eat the last ice pop I\u2019ve been saving. Maybe it will cheer me up. Then I notice that the freezer door is ajar. Water is oozing out; everything in it is wet. And there\u2019s no icy pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bloody teenage monster has eaten my last ice pop and left the door open. We\u2019ve talked about it many times; if you don\u2019t close it carefully, it may stay open. There he is, sleeping late in his room. Last day before schools start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wake him up and tell him to come to the kitchen. He stands there, with sleepy eyes, trying to look innocent. Like he had no idea what this is about. I explain, overemphasizing, how important it is to close the freezer properly. If you don\u2019t, food will go bad. How much more electricity it takes because the freezer is trying to compensate. Melting water gets under the freezer, and you must drag the whole thing out to be able to dry and clean the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teenager looks at me with a glazed look. Doesn\u2019t say anything. No remorse. Rage is building inside me. I look at him, straight into his eyes, and ask, \u201cDo you have any explanation for this? \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He replies, \u201cYou probably left it open last night when you ate that last ice pop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
