D: The voice on the radio said it was 40 degrees today and she went put without a coat! So can I?
Me: No. It’s not 40 degrees – it’s quite cold today.
D: But she said it was STEAMING!
Me: People don’t always say what they mean.
D: She was, it IS hot – she said!
Me: Turn the radio off if you’re going to believe everything they say, and look outside – it’s icy – I need to defrost the car.
D: Oh yes… OK… they don’t always mean what they say…

[Dream]
D: I wish I was Iceman.
Me: Do you? Why?
D: Because he can shoot ice. I had a dream about him. I was Iceman.
Me: Ah – did you save anyone?
D: No, it was only a short one. I did an ice swirl into a hole because there were lots of green goblins, and we ran up it. But Firestar was flying, and so all the heat around her melted the ice – I told her to run! My best friend Liam was there and while the ice was melting he fell down and it started to crack. Then he fell off and onto a roof and he had to go to hospital. Then the dream started again and that’s the end.

D: Is the ice cream van still going around now it’s all dark?
Me: No, it’s too cold for ice creams now – everyone’s all huddled up inside, by the fire.
D: But what if they get all hot and sweaty in their coats?
Me: They could take their coats off.
D: Not if the teacher says “No! That’s not right!” and doesn’t let them take their coats off. What if they turn to dust and the teacher doesn’t notice? They could have an ice cream – to cool them down. Or an ice cube. Oooo.
