Early morning conversations with Johnny, Part II

3:30am...I hear the thud of little feet coming down the stairs.


Me:     John, what are you doing up?
John: Mommy I scared of the storm
Me:    There's not a storm, let's go... back to your bed.


Right as I said that....a loud clap of thunder and lightening


Me:    sigh...get up here
John: mommy, God's makin da storm?
Me:    yes baby
John: he's sittin on a cloud makin it storm?
Me:    No, he's in Heaven..now it's time to be quiet and go to sleep.


Needless to say we once again didn't get much sleep after that. It stormed for probably 30 more minutes, and John had to comment after ever thunder clap and lightening flash. Finally, he passed out. Maybe tonight we'll get a full night's sleep without interruption.
