Lane and Ginny collapsed onto the soft grass in the back yard. Gazing towards the sky their six year old minds began conjuring shapes from the puffy clouds passing overhead.
“Look, a bunny!” cried Ginny, pointing upwards.
A few moments later Lane exclaimed, “That’s a puppy dog!”
The dark dog-shaped cloud rumbled. A torrent of rain let loose.
Moments later the twins crashed into their kitchen, puddles of water forming around them.
“What happened to you?” chuckled their mother as she regarded her two soaking children.
Ginny and Lane looked at each other sourly.
“The puppy dog peed on us!”

The cuteness! You did such a great job at capturing the personality of the twins, and at showing us the kind of relationship they shared with their mother. Just wonderful.

Lol. No, this is the first time the twins have appeared, but I have two sons about 15 months apart and when they were little they provided me with ample story fodder to write stuff like this. Thanks for the comment. 🙂

Dear Chris,
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you around these parts. Cute story. What child doesn’t love lay on the ground and ponder clouds?
Shalom,
