A loud, powerful storm passed over the house this morning right as we were getting in the car to go to school. I can count on one hand the number of times Leta has heard thunder in her life. Her eyes got huge, and in her eight-year-old, daughter of Heather Armstrong way, she goes, “WHAT. WAS. THAT.” I explained the phenomenon and as we pulled out of the driveway she said, “That really needs to happen more often.”
