Peace and Quiet

Let me start out by saying that Dalton dislikes storms..
He's not scared of the rain.. or even of the lightening..it is the thunder.
It petrifies my son. He does get it honestly.. I have been scared of bad storms my whole life. He doesn't know that..because I try to be brave for him. (LOL)


Anyway, so the other night we had on heck of a storm. Everytime it would thunder he would drop whatever he was doing and dive onto my lap or mamaw's lap (depending on who was closest). Mom had been trying to talk to him the past few storms about thunder. She told him that when it thundered it was only God clapping his hands. So this is the conversation post lap dive

Dalton: Mommy, I don't like thunder.
Me: Oh I know honey but its nothing to be scared of.. remember what Mam told you? (Mam is his nickname for mamaw).
Dalton: Yeah.. it is just God clapping his hands.
Me: Thats right.. and clapping our hands isn't scary is it?
Dalton: No, Mommy but its loud. I don't like it when its loud. I think God should stop clapping His hands and go to His room and lay down. I need some peace and quiet.

Little man was just so serious.. it was all I could do not to bust out laughing!
