Cloud Analogy

As anyone living in Idaho knows, this past couple of weeks have been miserable with constant intermittent rain, snow, blasting wind (with advisory's), and bitter cold. We have had baseball games four nights a week and have had to sit through the lovely weather almost every night. As we were headed to one of Cayden's games last week Bryce looked up and noticed another dark cloud headed our way and asked what it meant when some clouds were darker than others and why the dark clouds rain on us. I gave him a small explanation of how colds can only hold so much precipitation making them darker until they can no longer hold it and then it starts to rain.

Bryce was still asking questions and Cayden jumped in to answer for me. He told Bryce that the clouds are like our bladders. Clouds hold the rain just like our bladders hold our pee. It can only hold so much pee before we have got to go to the bathroom and let it out just like the clouds eventually have to let the rain out.

After Cayden explained this Bryce thinks for a minute and replies, " oh, okay. I get it now." I turned around to Cayden and said, "Cayden, great analogy!"

I love my kids!
