FOG

 It started with a nice thought shared in twitter:

“And then, most likely, clouds are wondering about which shape we do have.”

In a beautiful morning of December, we all started to pretend to be those clouds, looking to our world with curiosity, trying to find us a shape to match and, further observing to understand how everything behaved.

It was fun, a great game that the kids took enthusiastically. We were sharing wonder, and funny remarks. I love to see my children engaged on any sort of imaginative thinking, specially now, that they are growing quite big, and are about to leave childhood behind.

At some point, I added a thought, but B said:

“No, mummy, they cannot see that. Clouds are high up in the sky to be able to get to see those details.”

“Well… when they are too curious, they come down to see better, it´s called FOG”.

I was feeling sharp and poetic, proud of my own line. “Mummy that was clever”, said B.

A few seconds of glory for me followed, till my twelve-year-old asked:

“Mummy, could you explain then a TORNADO?”
