It’s a wet day. I mean it’s raining. There may be a number of
ways how you people would interpret the initial line but it always meant that it was
raining! Life is simple with me, with us. We have less words to speak, but more
to understand without them. It’s good to know that our language and the way we
communicate hasn’t yet been deciphered like every other; we feel glad but don’t
brag about it in ways like “Ours is the most complicated language to
communicate with” and all like you all but let’s not talk about that all.
Mom says I shouldn’t go out today. It’s raining heavily you
know. The wind is blowing fiercely, feels like uncle Fred is hungry at night
and yelling for some food. He’s like an owl you know, always awake at nights.
Mom says it’s highly unhealthy and one needs sunrays to digest ones food and
absorb available vitamins from it, all the elderly say so but he doesn’t
listen and is asleep throughout the day. Yet he’s well so I’m beginning to
doubt what the elderly are saying but I dare not question them at this very
young age, they can go pretty mad. I’ll just have to stay quiet and listen
to what all they are saying and remember it and one day when I’m old enough,
I’ll figure it out all by myself. Also I too am afraid to go out today by
myself as usually my dad drops me to the play ground where I play with my
friends but he’s stuck today at Uncle Lynn’s place due to the heavy rain. He
was free today and so he went over to his place saying he’d be back till
evening but he couldn’t now as the weather has turned upside down! It was hot
and shiny when he left and now, it’s dark with frequent lightening within the
clouds occasionally showing a dark purple colour of the clouds that I could see
through the front door of our house. Actually there is no door, it's just an entrance! Many a times the lightening even managed
to penetrate through the clouds and kissed the grounds making huge noise
scaring the shit out of me but my mom assured me that we were safe in our old,
short and huge house. She says that the things that are tall are frequently hit
by lightening and as our house it not so tall, we have less to worry about the
lightening striking and frying us. Was that to calm me down? I think that she
intended to, but it freaked me out knowing that people who are struck by
lightning are fried!
