Sudden Downpour

Around noon today there was a sudden downpour, and even a power outage. All the lights in the house went off with a click. After the lightning, my mom was holding her head because the blog post she was writing had disappeared, and I thought, “Glad I don’t use a desktop computer.”

Before lunch I washed my hands, and thinking my water-cooled hands would feel nice, I squeezed my mom’s and grandmother’s upper arms in turn. Maybe because I don’t usually touch my grandmother much, she squeezed my arm back with a big smile. It was hot, but it warmed my heart.
