The Ice Cream Test
I like Ice Cream. It's good. But over the years, I have been involved in numerous incidents where my ice cream has fallen out of my hand and onto the ground. Sometimes it's a scoop that falls off the cone. Other times it's a frozen novelty item (ice cream sandwich, choco-taco) that I drop. I can't explain it. I'm like "Clumsy Smurf" when it comes to ice cream. And no, I haven't gotten better at holding onto it now that I'm an adult.

I recently compiled a list of people, places and things that I managed to drop my ice cream on. Then I ranked them and assigned point values based on the situation and how crazy unlucky I was. One other thing I should mention, I ALWAYS PICKED THE ICE CREAM UP AND CONTINUED EATING IT. Dropping it is no big deal, but each time I did, I refused to let it go to waste.

So here is my assignment for you. Read through my list of ice cream mishaps. If one of my disasters has also happened to you at some point in your life, give yourself the points I assigned to that drop. At the end of the Test, tally up your points and go to our forum.
Post your score and see how it compares to everyone else out there who has ever dropped their ice cream. And if you've experienced a crazy drop(and still eaten it) that I don't have on my test, let me know all about it!!!
