I like the sound of rain
Good Thing as it
has rained for most of
this month
We have skylights in
our front room and
our bedroom and
sometimes the rain wakes me
after I have fallen
asleep
I know it's wet and cold
outside
but every time it rains while
I am inside
I will get really hot
I don't know why
I usually sleep without
a blanket or sheet except
for around my toes
My feet are always cold
and thus I wear socks all
the time
I always open windows in
whatever room I'm in
Roland closes the windows. He
doesn't like being cold.
Heat escapes his body.
Cuddling up next to him is like
snuggling with a furnace.
He likes to cuddle
while we sleep.
I don't like to cuddle
when I'm trying to sleep, especially
when I'm trying to stay cool
and I have these octopus arms all
over me. It's like
having ten blankets on top of me while
in the desert with the blazing
sun
Our son Tony is
always cold
He has no meat on
his bones.
I've never snuggled with
him, but I have
hugged him before.
I think I could touch
each of my elbows as
I'm hugging him.
He is that skinny.
I don't know why
as he eats like a horse
He eats more
than the rest of our family
put together.
I think eating makes him
thinner. That's not fair!
At least that's how it
used to be.
I don't know how
it is now.
I know that his wife
Rochelle is always hot
She might not use blankets
either.
Tony once accused Roland
and I of being penguins
I know he would be cold
in our house right now
At least Roland is soft and
padded
Cuddling up with Tony must
be like cuddling with a
skeleton -
all bony and hard
I don't know if Rochelle
picks up extra heat from him or
not
When he was a boy and
we went to the beach
I took lots of pictures
his brothers made fun of his
bony format. Said he
could pose as a poster child
for one who is hungry.
They said he looked deformed.
He's not
He is thin.
He says he likes the rain.
I don't know why.
I like it.
