Frozen Fish

Logic from around 11 years ago.

P1.When something in water gets too cold, it freezes.
P2. When something frozen gets to hot, it melts.
P3.My brother accidentally froze his pet fish
-----
C. He must boil the frozen fish to unfreeze it

Don't you love the logic of a 7 year old?

  1. Seven-year-olds can be great at logic. In fact, he got this argument right. Probably, however, he was mistakenly assuming that unfreezing it would bring it back to life, which seldom (though not never) works.

  2. If only he hadn't tried this theory on a once-living creature. It would have been so much more practical if he had frozen and unfrozen something inanimate.

  3. It wasn't that he was trying a theory, it was that he was trying to revive his pet fish!
