How the Weather Works

While outside walking down the street, Liam spied some clouds in the sky...

Liam: "I really, really need it to snow."

Me: "Well, it's spring now. I don't think it's going to snow for a few months yet."

Liam: "See those clouds, Mommy? Snow comes from clouds."

Me: "Well, that's true, but I think those clouds might bring us a thunderstorm."

Liam: "With rain?"

Me: "Sure."

Liam: "The rain just might come. And then lightning and then thunder! AND! The lightning is the daddy and the thunder is the baby. That's why thunder is loud. Because it's the baby. Yeah!"

Liam spun himself around and around in delight at his conclusion. I just love the logic of a two-year-old.
