Upon hearing the weather forecast on the radio this morning, Guppy nearly burst with excitement.

Forecast: A mix of clouds and sun early followed by cloudy skies and isolated storms this afternoon, continuing throughout tomorrow.  High around 70F. Wind SE at 15 to 25 MPH.

Foggy as to her abundance of glee, BT asked why she was so giddy. Guppy brightly replied, “Because SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE CANCELLED TOMORROW!”

“School is NOT going to be cancelled because of a few raindrops and a bit of thunder.”

“Dad, you weren’t listening!  It said that we’re going to have ISOLATED storms!  School is definitely going to be cancelled.”

And then it hit him like a bolt of lightening.  

• What the forecast said–“isolated storms.”
• What Guppy heard–“ice-o-lated storms.”

Sorry to rain on your parade, sweet Ariana.
