That moment when a child asks why ice melts and your brain goes full professor mode. Suddenly you're drawing diagrams about molecular kinetic energy and Boltzmann distributions while the kid just wanted to hear "it gets warm."

The poor child probably just wanted to finish their popsicle in peace, not hear about how statistical mechanics governs phase transitions at the quantum level.
