- Frosty and Crystal

- "Frosty, get your fat frozen butt off that sofa and help me with this can
- of cranberry sauce!!" Frosty threw down his newspaper. He lazily slid out of
- the sofa and rumbled toward the kitchen. Can't this she-devil of a snowball do
- *anything* herself? Frosty dragged his marshmellow feet across the icy floor.
- "Yeah, what do you want?!" "I asked you to help me with this can of cranberry
- sauce!" Frosty grabbed an icicle from the ceiling, and with a heave, jammed
- the pick through the top of the can. Frosty then tilted the can and poured
- the contents into the sink. "There! It's out of the can!!" "OH! Frosty the
- Snowman, get back in here!!" "Aw, go suck a snow cone!" Frosty dropped into
- the sofa and returned to his newspaper. How did he get into this situation?
- His life was better when he was dancing with the children! Singing, laughter!
- . . .

- "Daddy! Can you help me with my homework?" The illusion was shattered.
- Now, he was just a homebody who just happened to live inside an igloo. "No,
- let your brother help you." "But, Dad, he's younger than me!" "Snowflake,
- leave me alone, or you're sleeping with the heater on tonight." Suddenly, a
- dimunitive snowman comes racing across the living floor on a skateboard made of
- ice. "Ice Cube!! I told you *not* to ride that thing inside the house!!"
- "Aw, c'mon Mom!! And, remember, its 'the Ice Man', not Ice Cube! With a
- grunt, Frosty thrusts his foot forward and knocks Ice Cube off the skateboard.
- "Listen to your mother, stupid. As Frosty leaned back into his chair, he once
- again thought of dancing and singing songs . . . visions of a time long left
- behind . . .
