Sky tears

Last week while driving during one of our recent torrential downpours, Cy asked me, "Mommy, why is the street crying? Is it sad?" I explained that the rain is coming from the sky not the street. So of course he wanted to know, "Why is the sky sad?" I said something like... the sky isn't sad it's just raining. He wasn't having any of my rationales. He said in his cheerful voice of his, "I know, I will sing it a song and then it will be happy," and he did. He sang Wheels on the Bus and wouldn't you know that very shortly after he sang, it stopped raining. That crazy kid...now he's really going to believe he made the sky happy.
