A Daughters Wisdom

By
Home Inspector with JRV Home Inspection Services, LLC HOI 394

The other day we had some wild and dangerous weather pass through my area of Wallingford Connecticut. Very severe thunderstorms and even tornado warnings. A tornado actually touched down in the town of Shelton not more than 10 miles from my home.  

It was early evening and the storms had moved on when my youngest daughter began yelling, "Come here quick a rainbow!"

Sure enough there was a beautiful rainbow in the early evening sky. I actually got a shot of it with my not so sophisticated camera.

My daughter's excitement continued after we had all arrived to gaze at this beautiful natural wonder.  She said, "Can we go find the pot of gold at the end?  Then mommy and you won't have to work any more and can stay home and be with us all the time."

Out of the mouths of babes!

Sounds like your daughter has her priorities straight James!  Which means for the time you are with her; you must be doing *something* right!

Keep up the good work!

Do you remember long time ago when people didn't understand a rainbow?  They really read lots of stuff into it.  Now it's just a pretty site.

Eilean, I hope her priorities always remain straight.

Barbara, As were many natural occurrences. An eclipse comes to mind.

Charlie, I think so.

Jack, Wouldn't that be nice!

Mr Quartello,

I think that your daughter is very bright. And I bet that she likes squirrels with their bushy tails too.

Hi James,

It is a great photo of the rainbow with your "unsophisticated camera." LOL. This post made me smile, it was completely adorable. Kids say the darnest things!
