Ice Cream and Sticky Fingers

Ice cream is one of my favorite desserts and we all know that it is something that kids enjoy too. I started envisioning a young child with an ice cream cone in hand. The ice cream started melting and running down the ice cream cone faster than the young child could eat it. As the ice cream ran down the ice cream cone, it got all over the child’s hand. Then I envisioned the child walking around with messy and sticky hands. Those sticky hands are now touching everything around them and leaving a mess behind them. There are messes in the kids room, a pile of laundry on the floor in front of the washing machine, a laundry basket of clean clothes waiting to be folded and put away, dishes overflowing from the sink, Cheerios in the floorboard of the car, you haven’t had a date night with your spouse in ages, and the list could go on and on. Life was meant to be messy like a young child eating an ice cream cone.
