Clouds for Breakfast
So this morning, just after we awoke, the munchkin stood at the sliding glass doors in the living room, looked out at the sky in the backyard and said,
“Daddy, there aren’t any clouds!”
My half-awake self, confused, suggested, “Oh honey, I’m sure there are some clouds out there.”
