Something to ponder on a rainy day

Yesterday the kids woke up and complained about another cloudy day.

When is it gonna be sunny? G. asked me.

Unfortunately, not anytime soon.

So the kids started singing the age-old nursery rhyme to lament the lousy weather:

    It's raining It's pouring The old man is snoring He got into bed And bumped his head And couldn't get up in the morning

How did he bump his head mommy? L., my 7-year-old asked.

You know, I never thought about that. I don't know.

Maybe he had a bunk bed and bumped his head on that just like we do.

Something to ponder on yet another dreary day in Maine....
