The sky was an ominous color today. It was this color that made me think of seals. You know the ones with the big adorable eyes, but everyone tells you to stay away from because apparently they are easily threatened and unpredictable. That's what the skies reminded me of. An unpredictable gray seal. But As I looked in the sky I remembered what usually shows up with gray clouds. Rain.
Rainy weather has always been my thing to wish upon. Some people wish it gone, but I wish for it almost every day. Yeah, there are days I don't want it to rain because it will make me feel small and lonely. But rain makes everyone feel gloomy at some point. Rain just makes me feel like life is so much simpler than it really is. I stepped away from the window to go ask my mom something about dinner. But when I stepped away I forgot all about what I was going to ask my mom, it was like the seal gray clouds were listening to my thoughts and started opening the floodgates. I smiled to myself at the thought of the floodgates actually opening, but it didn't matter anymore. All that did was the fact that it was raining outside now.
I ran towards my bedroom, already looking for my gear for the adventure I was ready to have just outside my house. As I was running my mom walked out of the laundry room with a basket of my little brother's rompers and his baby blanket, she stopped me by calling me the one nickname I specifically told her not to call me it but she still does it. I stopped right in my tracks, turned around and smiled slightly towards my mom. She just smiled at me and said, "have fun." and reached in the basket I thought only had my little brothers clothes in it, but had my favorite rainy weather leggings. My blue dragonfly leggings. My smile turned bright. I grabbed my leggings and ran upstairs to my room.
I was ready to go on my rainy day adventure in a matter of minutes. With my yellow raincoat, yellow rubber boots, a red umbrella, and my blue dragonfly leggings. I headed out the door and headed towards the end of the road where all the water collects in the tar of the road and makes the best puddles.
