so an infamous texas thunderstorm is upon us tonight. i remember the first time i experienced one during my second visit to the lone star state. have to say i was FREAKED out by all the violent thunder claps and lightening strikes. but that was 8-9 years ago, and i'd like to think i've acclimated myself to them. well, sort of...
as i was putting tay to bed tonight, there was a loud clap that seemed to take place right in front of her bedroom window. i jumped and gasped, which in turn caused her to react even more. at that moment, i gained a bedmate. while tucking her into my bed we talked about the storm:
tay: mama, i'm scared.
me: what are you afraid of?
tay: the lightening and the thunder.
me: why?
tay: because it will blow the roof off and blow away all my toys and real make-up. (she also has plastic, pretend make-up)
me: oh...don't worry. i think your toys and real make-up will be safe tonight. the lightening and thunder won't be able to get them, okay?
tay: {nods head} ok.
nice to know that mama's expendable in case the roof blows off.
sweet dreams!
