Once upon a time, a dark, cool, and rainy night turned into a steady tropical morning rain. It rained. And it rained. And it rained. And as it rained, the flood waters rose. And they rose. And they rose. And they rose. Until finally, by 11am, they had rendered the roadway impassable. It was then that Ethan realized that floodwaters and the high speed train track had created a real life moat around his castle. Ethan continued to watch as the tropical storm rains raged on, bringing the waters higher and higher. Ethan and mommy were stuck at home in their sweats, taking a lazy day in front of the TV when the unthinkable happened...the TV turned off. The power had gone out. Fortunately, after and hour and a half, they were back in business. The rain continued until about 3:30pm, but by then, it was too late. The waters were too high. Together we sat, hoping that the rains would recede and Daddy could come home. It never happened. At 10pm, Mommy waved at Daddy on the other side of the creek. Daddy went to a hotel and despite some remaining water, could finally make it home the next morning. Mommy and Ethan had finished their first night alone together---and they lived to tell the story.
