The froguar continues to ask for whatever toys he wants, expecting us to go straight to the store and get them, of course. He soaked up the holiday spirit this year because many of our conversations go like this:
Froguar: Please want [any Thomas the train engine he does not already have].
When is his birthday? I have the mixed blessing of a birthday exactly 6 months from Christmas, so my parents could always tell me "wait till Christmas" or "wait till your birthday".
His birthday is in September. Grandparents have told him they are mailing him two of his wishes, so he looks for them every day. Every DAY.
We have made a stop gap of stickers home-laminated onto cardstock. It is satisfactory. They are like paper dolls for toddlers. I knew we had a combined 8 years of graduate school training for something.
If the water has as much salt dissolved in it as it can hold (that's called a saturated solution of salt), so that any further salt would just come out as crystals, the freezing temperature is around -21 °C, or about -6 °F
And I got that off the INTERNET pal, so it is a FACT!
That's precisely why I felt it okay to leave it in my car overnight; I didn't think it would get cold-enough to freeze. Apparently, I was wrong.
It was not a solid, hard-as-rock mass, to be sure, but what I had when I opened up the can was a semi-solid slush. (Also, I generally go for the low-sodium versions. Most commercial soup mixes have way too much sodium for my taste.)

What's more likely? That TLR is unable to tell whether something is frozen or that he decided to bullshit us about it for some reason?
I wasn't calling him a liar. Everyone already knows that
I wouldn't think such a thing. I carry cans of soup in the car for when I get stuck in the snow. I pour them on the snow to melt it and drive out. I eat the box of cheerios stowed in back if that doesn't work and I'm really stuck.
Campbell's chicken noodle soup contains neither chicken nor soup.
Those new low sodium healthy soups aren't so bad.
I once froze beer in my car. So I switched to vodka. Hard to freeze that.
Now I'm rambling.
Thanks TLR.
Thanks Obama.
Thanks Soup.

And thus began the "Frozen Soup" controversy of 2014, which sharply polarized the scientific community, rocked many a promising academic career and resulted in vicious polemics in all the major journals. There were fisticuffs in MIT, and accusations of assault with a toasted bagel in Oxford.
If they dare to come out in the open field and defend frozen soup as a good thing, we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of the nation and the world. Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands for frozen soup by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of frozen soup.
