I'm Tornado Proof, Suckers

Dear Rain,

I like you a lot. You do a lot of great things for our earth like make the plants grow and give us more of the life-sustaining force of water. Sometime you are snow and that is cool (no pun intended), too. Overall you are okay by me.

However, it has come to my attention that our relationship has some pot holes. Now I don't want to be one to nit-pick because I have flaws of my own, but if this relationship is going to keep working we need to lay down some ground rules.

I don't like it when you come down so hard that it hurts. I know that sometimes it is the wind's fault, but you are the one who invited her over in the first place so you should be able to control your friends. Also, please take into consideration the temperature outside before you start to fall. If it is too warm to snow, but too cold to rain, and you turn into ice - please don't. I can't relate to you then. You are all hard and unforgiving and very difficult to deal with (plus it takes forever to get my windshield clean). Honestly, I prefer you when it is warm-ish outside. I enjoy you quite a lot then, actually.

Rain, please don't feel like I am picking on you. It isn't like you are as bad as your cousins Tornado and Hurricaine. It just so happens that I feel like, with a little effort towards self-improvment, and a litte common courtesy, we could get along even better than before.

Regards,
Leah
