Anyone that knows Alice (Christy's mom) knows she is a bit of neat freak. (Not that I am any different as a mother.) Katie, Christy and I had a tradition of buying a half gallon of ice cream, usually Breyers, grabbing 3 spoons and sneaking it into Christy's bedroom. There we would devour the entire thing. Of course, Alice and other members of the Barnhart household would be curious about what three teenage girls were doing so quietly with the door shut. Ahh, but we had a plan - drop and shove. Drop the spoons in the ice cream and shove it under the bed. We would just pretend we were talking quietly, whispering. We had a few close calls, but we were never discovered.
