This is the conversation between Jen and I this afternoon:Jen: Hey Mom Guess what?
Me: What?
Jen: I invented something - ice in a cup!!!
Me: Really? You invented that?
Jen: Yep. It's the biggest piece of ice in a cup. You can just lick it like this. (insert vision of Jen licking ice from a bathroom cup with a huge proud smile on her face)
Me: Wow that's amazing, you should put a patent on it.
Jen: What's that?
Me: You go to a lawyer , fill out a bunch of paperwork and draw up a contract so no one can steal your idea.
Jen: Will you do that for me?
Me: Sure, I'll call the lawyer in the morning.
Jen: Thanks Mom! I have to get a suit to wear.
And there you go - the true story on how ice in a cup was invented.
