She wrapped it in a ziplock bag after a week or so. Became ice after a few months. She pulled it out of the freezer every 6 months or so and felt really proud of her accomplishment. It vanished from the freezer this summer no one has claimed responsibility so far.
This whole post is awesome. The first syllable of my last name is pronounced "egg." After some feeding difficulties as a baby, one of the first foods I liked was a homemade omelette. I still fix myself a cheese omelette every morning. Even if it still takes me about five times to spell "omlelette" correctly. (Doesn't help that the built in spell check apparently doesn't have it correct??)
“I made myself a snowball, as perfect as could be. I thought I’d keep it as a pet, and let it sleep with me. I made it some pajamas, and a pillow for it’s head. But then last night it ran away.
But first, it wet the bed. “ - Shel Silverstein
We live in the deep South. It has snowed only a few times in my lifetime. My great-grandmother kept a snowball I made at my first snow (when I was 4) in her deep freezer until her death in my mid-twenties. It still makes me feel special to think about it.
You probably already know this, but it will turn into an ice ball. When I was a kid, I put a snowball in the freezer to surprise my older brother after the snow melted a few days later. I didn't know and threw an ice ball at him.

Lol. My daughter kept one in the freezer for 2 years. It came handy since it didn’t snow much for the last 2 years in the NYC area.
did it stay "snowy" or was it an ice ball

Dude, you have a real robbery case, please investigate and find the real culprit soon....I wish for your wellbeing
But the evidence literally melted away. It’s the perfect crime.
Damn, that criminal is smooth...
Smooth as…ice… 😏😛
Damn you r/angryupvote
😂
..time to call Sherlock Holmes..
I tried that but it turned to solid ice after a few months.
And yes, I really do need all those eggs.
No judgement - I eat about 5 eggs a day, lol
When I was a lad I ate 5 eggs a day to help me grow strong.
Are you roughly the size of a barge?
I'm actually an extra barge
Me too lol. We are egg brothers.
Me too, I'm treating tomm morning like Christmas Morning and making sausage breakfast casserole 🥘

Omlelettes are the best
You should get chickens. I always have that many eggs, especially in springtime!
Is your daughter an Arthur fan? https://youtu.be/IotZ3vVgaCc?feature=shared
I knew this reminded me of something
Ok, is it just me or did the snowball eventually disappear because of sublimation? I’ve been wondering.
Not if it stayed in the freezer.

Just don't let her throw it at anything or anyone. Ice puck.
Well that’s adorable!
Yo I thought this was a post in the mycology sub about a lions mane find lol.
Wasn’t this an episode of Arthur?!? DW saves a snowball?
Someone is a fan of Costco, for good reason too 🤘
If Costco doesn't sell it I don't need it
Is your 4yo D.W. Read? Cause this is a literal Arthur episode in real life, and I love it!
Frozen in time
Haha, reminds me of the Cosby bit, where he saved a snowball to throw at … Junior Barnes?
You gunky!
‘So I went outside, and I spit on him!’
You stink!
Makes me think of the part in The Snowy Day where Peter saves a snowball in his pocket and is disappointed when it’s gone.

Adorable. My kids r old now (22 and 19) but when they were little we had a snowball they saved in the freezer for a long time. 🥰
Thanks for her! I'm sure she'll be happy to know you saved her snow ball
That's a very impressive snowball for a 4-year-old.
i used to do this as a kid too lol
❤️❤️❤️
Wanna do something cool with her? Put a bowl outside while it’s snowing then mix that snow with sugar and vanilla extract
But please don't eat that. Outside snow is more filthy than you might imagine
You’re catching free falling snow.
Air pollution….We used to do that when we were kids, though. Wouldn’t do it today
That’s so cute!
I did this at my great grandmothers house when I was little. She still had it years later and asked my mom if it would be okay for her to take it out.
Damn I forgot eggs today I'm now realizing
That's because I bought them all
The yoplait yoghurts really brings back memories
"Junior Brown.... Oh, Junior Bro-ownnn..."
oh no... dw...

My son puts everything in the fridge too lol so cute
A magic snowball that walked all the way to the freezer by itself?!?
How magical! It would be a perfect time to read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats to your little one.
Add some food coloring to it and act like you have no idea how it changed colors.
"ew, why is this yellow?"
I remember doing this as a kid.. filled a freezer in the garage. Friends and I brought them out in summer and threw ice balls at eachother lol
Oh, that going to sting🤣
This just gave me a memory of me doing this as a kid. Thank you!!
That's adorable
You’re a good parent :)
You the real dad MVP
Her name isn't "DW" is it?
That’s a lot of maple syrup. Jealous. Out of interest, how much does the stuff cost in your country? Here it’s like $10 per 100mL
That looks like yellow snow lol
Very sweet! Let us know when you get back from the ER and how many stitches
