An Actual Conversation


Lexi {shivering}: Mom, I'm freezing! I'm shivering!

Me {turning on heater in car}: You are? Do you know why you shiver?

Lexi {intrigued}: No, why?

Me {teaching voice}: Well, shivers are really little muscle contractions. When each muscle moves, it creates a little heat. So, you shiver, it creates heat, and you get a little warmer. Shivers actually make you warm.

Lexi {contemplative pause}

Lexi {enthusiastically, after having a scientific breakthrough}: Well, I'm gonna get super hot because I have really big muscles!!!!!
