 | it’s raining here |
Lesson of the day:
You MAY drink rain falling from the sky, but you MAY NOT drink it as it runs off the roof.
Or at least, that’s the new rule* at our house.
In case you were wondering.
*Only new because no one ever tried that before. Until now, I guess it was an unspoken rule. BUT IT’S A GOOD ONE.
P.S. Don’t drink the water from the rain BARREL, as it comes from the roof, into the gutters, down the down spout and sits in the rain barrel until it is needed. For the GARDENS.
P.P.S. Don’t give water from the rain barrel to your BABY SISTER. (See P.S.)
You cannot suck it off the spokes of your umbrella, either. Just sayin.’
Dear children of the world (by which I mean my children),
Listen to auntie Jen and auntie Kitch. They only want what’s best for you. And what’s best for you is NOT NASTY RAINWATER. Mmmmmkay? Mmmmkay.
