I don’t get ice cream headaches but my throat “freezes” sometimes. Does that count?

I never heard of an ice cream headache, until dating my wife. She gets them, and at least two of your kids get them. The rest of us don’t. Most who witness would claim that I’m a professional. Perhaps I have head calluses.
