The first is a structural conundrum: you don’t worry have to worry about thin ice.
A two-inch skin of ice can support a tank (that is, a WW2 British tank). Thin ice is very strong, but on a pond or lake the thickness varies. It’s not the ice that’ll get you, but the holes in it.
The second thing I learned at my father’s knee is that water has three phases, shown below:
ice, water, and vapor/solid, liquid and gas/
and each of us are composed of these three parts.
The moral of this story is, you can never predict which lessons your children will take to heart.
Well put, Alice! We can only hope our children learn the important life lessons.
Hope you are having a good new year!
hmmm, and I’m still learnin’. :O
Hi, Tina and Pat! Here’s hoping we all have a happy new year!
