My Day So Far

I needed a break and took a boat out to the middle of the lake.

I set down the oars, laid down in the boat, and looked up at the sky. Finally some peace and quiet.

But then a dark cloud blotted out the sunshine. The cloud didn’t move. I asked the cloud nicely if it would get out of the way. The cloud ignored me.

I sat up, grabbed the oars, and rowed to another spot.

The cloud followed me. Then it started to rain. It rained so much that the boat filled up with water and sank.

I swam to the shore and laid out on the sand. The cloud was gone and the sun warmed me.

I said thanks to the sun.

The sun said, “No problem, that cloud was an asshole.”
