Katie

Katie groaned as she watched the rain pour down. She dreamed of splashing around in the puddles forming in the backyard. She imagined the cool drops of rain falling on her face. She could practically hear the mud squishing underneath her galoshes. She could be having so much fun. She groaned louder, so Mommy in the next room was sure to hear.

What good were galoshes and raincoats if you couldn’t use them? Didn’t Mommy realize that there wasn’t anything to do inside? That valuable play time was being wasted this very moment?

The rain continued to fall, and Katie sighed.
