My little sister asked if an icicle is just winter’s nose booger, and nobody knew how to answer politely.
Our teacher used an icicle to explain gravity: it fell, we screamed, and science was learned.
Mom said, “Don’t touch that icicle,” so of course it became the most interesting object in the entire universe to me.
I pretended the icicle was a magic wand, but all my spells just made things colder and my fingers numb.
An icicle grows as water drips and freezes over and over, so it’s basically a slow-motion ice waterfall hanging upside down.
On the porch a child stared at a long icicle. The child tapped the icicle; it sang, then a small icicle fell and split a bigger icicle. Water dripped from each icicle into a frozen puddle. The child laughed, warmed by the bright blue light, and kept one tiny icicle in a mitten as a prize.
