it is raining...so no school today

Thursday morning, I was awoken by loud thunder and bright lightening.  I knew what was going to happen when I woke up SJ at 7 a.m.  SJ hates the rain!  It is not that he doesn't enjoy getting wet in the pool or the tub, but he hates getting wet from rain.  No one knows why.  It is just one of his special quirks.  I woke him at 7 and he heard the thunder.  Here is how the conversation went: 
Me:   SJ, time to wake up.
SJ:  Oh no, it is raining.
Me:  I know, but you still need to get up.
SJ:  It is raining, so there is no school today.
Me:  No, they don't cancel school for rain.
SJ:  Yes, they do.
Me:  No, they don't.
Twenty minutes later, he came downstairs to eat breakfast and was very whiny about the rain.  After he ate and took his supplements, I told him to go upstairs and brush his teeth.  "It is still raining, Mom," said SJ.  "I know, but we have to leave soon," I told him.  I knew he would want to wear his rain jacket, so I suggested that he do just that.  It was 80 some degrees out and he is putting on a rain jacket.  I tried not to laugh.  When we arrived at school, he had taken his glasses off and had his hood up.  "Where are your glasses, SJ?"  I asked him.  "Under my jacket,” he replied.  It takes not even 50 steps to get from my car to the school.  He runs as fast as he can, so that he will remain dry.  Fortunately, he does or this could have been a very LONG school day!
