The Clouds Must Be Sad :(

My mother used to say to me when I was younger that it rained because the clouds got sad! It makes me laugh now to look back on that, but it is actually quite poetic. Either that or they are laughing so hard at me that clouds could not keep the laughing tears locked up LOL. Anyway, it is raining a lot today here in the UK. So hope the clouds cheer up soon!

I was told by my mom that when there is thunder the angels are having a bowling tournament. And I believed her

I heard that a lot when I was a kid too! Seems like it's a universal thing then

I hope it soon clears up your way. It's been light rain here in Plymouth until about an hour or so, just cloudy now.

Sometimes when it rains, the clouds look angry. Maybe they are trying to drown us.

Some refreshing rain might take all of that away.

That's a very descriptive saying your mother had. It rained a lot this morning in my part of the UK, but it cleared up later.

We had rain a few days ago. We really needed it (and some wind) to wash away the smoke from a nearby fire.

It's good to have some little rain,so much rain could be a hindrance of what we are planning to do outside.It's rainy season here in my place and still hot in the middle of the day.

I like how your Mom explained it to you. Sometimes the clouds do look sad but other times they look mad and scary.

It's pretty cloudy right now as well. I know it rained last night, and I think it's supposed to rain a little more this morning. I just hope it doesn't rain too much, as I have to go out with my kids.

That is annoying when we have to go out and the rain wont let up. Hope you managed to still have a nice time.

well, that is one way to look at it and it does seem logical like the people upstairs re having fun bowling whenever there is thunder

It looks universal. Most asian kids are told that rain is tears of cloud.
