Do you ever wonder what clouds are made of? I do.

I bet they're made of candy,Candy that has been stirred and spun and stuck up in the sky for all of us to enjoy. Or maybe they're made of our very own breath. You know when it gets terribly cold outside"? You know how when you breathe sometimes this sort of transparent stuff comes out of your mouth, just as if you were smoking, but just different? I bet that's what clouds are made of.

I bet that the sky god collects all our breath from the winter season and keeps it in a giant jar witha giant label with giant printing spelling out "cloud matter", and each day he lets just a little bit our so we can see the wondrous result of our winter breathing.

But what about those days when there's not a cloud in the sky? What about then? I bet he's jealous of the summer heat. When it gets too warm for him to bear, I bet he decides that he's going to hof all the cloud matter to himself for that day.

I wonder how cold cloud matter is. Don't you? I bet it's so cold that if you touched it you would explode into a thousand tiny pieces. Cold does that, you know? I bet it's so cold that even the icy sky god can't touch it. I bet he has to use oven mitts, only they're special oven mitts that were made for him by Zeus. These mitts are so special that they can withstand the warmest and coldest temperatures.

I bet that's why when it gets really hot sometimes the sky god hogs all of the cloud matter to himself. Or maybe he's not stealing the cloud matter because it's hot; maybe it's hot because he's stealing the cloud matter! Maybe sometmes the sky god gets SO sick of summer that he decides that he'll just take a day or two during those dreadful months to stay completely cold, thus denying us the delightful coolness of cloud matter.

And if you ask me, that's really terrible. Don't you think? Don't you think that's terrible?

I do.

We spend all winter breathing just so we can save up enough cloud matter for the rest of the year, and Mr. Sky god here has to hog it all.

How terribly selfish.
