Let it snow

Is this what snow looks like? I've heard about it and have always wondered what it would be like to experience it. And suddenly I am witnessing the magic that is snow.

It's white and fluffy and floats through the air like pillows descending from the heavens, landing ever so delicately on my nose. It is as beautiful as I had imagined.

My sister Layla doesn't look as enamored as me. Maybe it's because she's older (and grumpier). But she has this odd look on her face, as if she knows something that I don't. Forget about her! I resume my enjoyment of the snow! It seems endless, and I am utterly joyful.

Hmmmm.... Interesting. A thought just occurred to me. I believe that I heard that snow happened outdoors. However, this is indoors and the floor is covered with snow. I'll file that tidbit and solve it later.

Time stops for a beat and I freeze. I hear something. The door is opening. Babe and Sweetie must be home!

I begin to make it snow harder so that they will see it too! I grab the next sofa cushion and flail my head side to side until the snow explodes from the cushion in all of its glory. As Babe walks into the room, the snow is at its peak; beautifully clouding the room in a storm of puffy white balls. As the snow gives in to gravity and falls to the floor, it reveals Babe in full. He is not as joyful as me. He is not joyful at all. Layla scurries out of the room.

Uh oh...
