Those Damn Clouds Are In Front Of My Daughter And The Eclipse.

For the last two or three weeks I have been looking forward to the total lunar eclipse scheduled to take place tonight. Unfortunately, all those clouds in the sky tonight did too. AND to make matters worse, my 18 year old daughter thinks I'm a loser because she can't look up and see the red moon she's read so much about on that scientific encyclopedia called Facebook. But, she has her own set of problems. Not only does she have no idea what a lunar eclipse IS, but she just came down the stairs and asked me where the moon WAS. I told her it was up in the sky, and since the only thing she really knows anything about is hair products, she took that as a reasonable answer. Then she punched me in the arm after realizing I was seriously making fun of her. Such is my life. I guess for now, we will sit here at the kitchen counter and make fun of one another until we either get too tired, or the clouds clear. But I hope the clouds clear, because then, not only can I show her the moon is indeed up in the sky, but maybe we'll even have a chance to pull out the telescope and give the red moon a good look. Later, after a few good laughs, I'll tuck her into bed and give her a kiss on the cheek. She's still my princess you know.
