"We need rain," they keep saying. I don't know why. When it rains, it brings nasty stuff like thunder and lightning. I do not see any use for things like thunder and lightning. Do you? What can you do with thunder? And what can you do with lightning? Well, maybe with lightning you can see when it's really dark out because of the rain. But only for a quick second.
When it rains, I can't go outside. I just watch.
Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I COULD go outside if I really wanted to. In fact, Mom and Dad sometimes take me out in the car so I can do my business, but sometimes, I even refuse to get out of the car. Mom once pushed me out. She can be really mean!
But when the rain turns to thunder, I really really really really don't like it. If Dad's around, I go sit with him.
I don't tell him I'm only there 'cuz I'm ascared of the thunder, I just pretend I like to cuddle with him. He likes that. It works for me!
But when he's not here, then I have to find some place to hide. One place is under the bed covers.
But then I get that claws-to-fobia thing. You know when the blankets feel like they are closing in on you and you have to claw-to-get-out?
Once, I tried hiding in the closet. That was kinda perfect. I couldn't really hear the thunder too good and I didn't get claws-to-fobia.
But the best part is when it just stops. Then I can finally find a comfortable place to just sleep.
Hope you have a good place to hide when the thunder comes!
Love, G
