We ate our fill, but there was more left when we was done. 'It’ll be in the icebox if y’all want some more later on, ' she told us. There weren’t no way I would have gone back and eat more. I knowed they was being extra nice to us right then, but if we didn’t act right, they would put us out. That’s how folks do. Eddie Whitlock
About This Quote

When a parent says, "It will be in the ice box if you want it later," they are telling their child that they will provide food for them later on. This practice is typically used when a child is not behaving appropriately and parents are trying to teach them a lesson by withholding food.
