Rain, Rain

April showers bring May flowers...

When we were little, Earthling and I would continue with little ditty: April showers bring May flowers. What do May flowers bring? Pilgrims.

What do Pilgrims bring? Thanksgiving.

What does Thanksgiving bring? Food.

And we would go on and on from there, culminating in some really weird and sometimes disgusting things, until we were told to stop. This was probably one of these bizarre and annoying games we would make up on long car rides.

This week, however, April showers may bring May flowers, but they also bring dreary days, low storytime attendance, and bored children.
