We have a lot of thunderstorms in our area and I tell our son that when the clouds are playing, they bump into each other; making noise. Not accurate but for a two year old it does the trick. <br /> Now on clear puffy cloud days he points at the clouds and asks them to bump together. :)</p> That sounds like a good idea.

I remember gettin gstuck in a movie theater in Wilmington, NC during a really really nasty storm. The power went out and I was absolutely terrified. I had to teach myself how to not be afraid of it. I would imagine that it was God bowling and try and figure out how many pins he would knock down with each clap of thunder. I must say that around here, God is quite the bowler.</p> I was terrified of thunder as a child. I remember gettin gstuck in a movie theater in Wilmington, NC during a really really nasty storm.

We will definitely have to try it especially with hurricane season coming up! When it stormed here this weekend I told my 3 year old daughter that Thunder is just God bowling in heaven and when there is lightening, God is just taking a picture with the winning trophy from his bowling tournament. She didn't buy it and said, "No mom its just thunder an lightning not God bowling and takin pictures!" Well when we headed out to the car it happened to thunder and lighten really loud and my daughter ran to the car and yelled, "Mommy tell God to stop!!!!!!" lol</p> Thats a really cool idea.

Or any excuse for cake.<br /> The book that worked for us (here in thunderstorms-all-spring-and-summer-and-occasionally-even-in-winter-land) is called Storm is Coming. A farmer rushes all the animals into the barn because Storm is coming, but none of the animals know who Storm is. They start out scared, but then decide that the rain, thunder and lightning will scare Storm away. The pictures are adorable. We started reading it when the kids were 3 and 6, but at 5 and 8 they still think it is funny.</p> Ooh, I love the idea of Thunder Cake. Or any excuse for cake.
