1. When They Said It Was Pouring Cats and Dogs I Didn't Think It Was Literal
"It's raining, it's pouring, cats and dogs are falling," Milo sang. He stopped and glanced around, realizing that there really were dozens of furry quadrupeds dropping from the sky along with the rain. "Good thing I ordered that extra-gigantic trampoline!"
2. Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down
Monday. Rain. The worst combination of all. Melissa stared blankly at the chalkboard, uninterested. Of course they would be learning about the water cycle today. She and the rest of the class were completely miserable from the storm.
Except for Milo, who was sitting up and paying immense attention to the lesson. He took notes, flipping his pencil and erasing something, only to push too hard. The eraser popped off, bouncing around the class. Everyone dove for cover, sighing when the eraser bounced off a sprinkler on the ceiling and further soaked everybody.
More water. Yay.
3. Don't Rain on My Parade
"I told you to keep an eye on the weather forecast!" Balthazar scolded, shivering when he made the mistake of wringing his soaked hat above his head, cold water splashing on his glasses.
"I couldn't help myself! That guy who yells at all the bad restaurants was on!" Vinnie held up his hands in protest. "Do you want to take the pistachio float for a joyride later?"
"We'd better call our boss. Mission Divert the Pistachio Parade was a colossal failure."
"Before today, I didn't even know that llamas liked pistachios. And llama wool smells terrible."
