"The rain is having an accident." Said the three-year-old, potty training girl to her older brother as they looked out the window during, yet another, afternoon summer storm.
The older, thoughtful and sensitive brother responded with all seriousness, "No, the clouds are crying."
The three-year-old, potty training girl then replied, "No, the rain is having an accident- Henry."
"No Caroline- really, the clouds are crying."
Different versions of this conversation continued as the two young children stared at the rain falling briskly in their back yard.
Finally, the three-year-old, potty-training girl said, "Oh." And ran to her mother with very important news, "Mom, the clouds are crying."
The mother then fed the children an early dinner, took advantage of the dark over cast sky, and put the children lovingly to bed an hour early.

this is so cute. you captured the moment perfectly
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
They went to bed and mom used her (web-site) thread
And they all got up in the morning...
A+ on the writing. A+ on the kids...and what else can I say except the moment was "like MAGIC", to quote from a favorite TOP 10 movie of mine. BRAVO, BRAVO, BELISIMO! (To quote another).
