Spanked by a Monsoon

Post by olesma »

Well - that was fun. We just got spanked with a pretty cool monsoon - initial reports are about .6 inches of rain in just over 20 minutes. Not bad. The wind did some damage in our neighborhood. I count 3 trees down, and that's just looking up and down our street.

This was the first real Monsoon my son has ever seen - pretty pathetic seeing as he's 3 yrs old. He was a little scared. But he didn't cry - he just kept asking me if I was okay.

Candy made it all better though. He told me so. "Daddy, I scared. But candy make it all better."

The little mooch has it all figured out. Play the sympathy card to get some skittles from mommy and daddy. Only 3 and he already has us totally pegged.

Count your blessings. While we were getting lit up by a lightning storm my 3 year old wanted to go out and play in it.

Mine was shaking and wouldn't leave her time-out spot. Pretty sorry for a five year old gun dog...
