What a Difference Being Five Makes (0 Comments)
Miss Sunshine has been quite frightened of thunderstorms.
Granted there have been a few unsettling things happen during last years thunderstorms- branches breaking off, eletricitiy going out, trees breaking in half. Stuff like that. But she does go a bit overboard in the frightened department and, in typical for her fashion, will not listen to any reason becuase she is too busy making noise herself.
A few weeks ago we had a thunderstorm roll through the hills around us. We had a meeting in town so the kids and I headed out to the park where the meeting was being held. We looked at the gray skyes and hurried through our meeting as the kids played. There were a few flashes of light in the distance that Sunshine commented on as we drove in.
“What was that?”
What?
“That flashing?” sounding nervous.
Oh, probably nothing much.
We went to see some friends afterwards and a few flashes were seen and a few low rumbles were heard.
On the way home Sunshine’s high voice proclaimed from the back:
“There was a thunderstorm, and I wasn’t afraid!”
Oh that’s good news honey!
“…because I’m five now!”
Makes all the difference in the world.
