Morning Drive


My morning drive in to work is usually quiet and peaceful as well as noneventful. Well unless I have trucks or mustangs irritating me(see yesterday's blog). This morning my usually quiet in the morning 8 year old heard a tornado watch issued. Brandon is almost to the point of being obsessed with tornados. He is also under the impression that a tornado watch is an event.

My morning dialogue:

Radio: There is a tornado watch until 9:00am in a list of counties.

Brandon: Mom can we be late to school today?

Me: Why would we want to be late?

Brandon: So we can go to the tornado watch, it is only until 9.

Me: Brandon a tornado watch means that the weather might produce a tornado.

Brandon: I know, so can we go watch it do it?

Me: no, We have no way of knowing where it will be.

Brandon: They said where on the radio.

Me: Brandon we are going to school on time.

Brandon: Why does the hot air and cold air fight anyway? Can't we go talk to it and make it nice?

Me: No Brandon weather doesn't listen to us.

Brandon: Are you sure we can't go to the tornado watch? It might be fun.

That is just a sample. It went on and on until we pulled up to the school. "Awwwww Mom I wanted to see the tornado."
