Forecast Forewarning

Dear Husband of Mandy also named Ryan, I am writing this as a forewarning to an issue you might encounter during your marriage. Mandy is deathly afraid of ThUNdeR & LiGHtnINg. When you hear of a storm approaching PLEASE Ryan PLEASE DO NOT let her hear the forecast on the television. IF by chance you are trying to sleep and a HUGE storm approaches unannounced, and yet you hear a creepy rumbling that might indicate a STORM - put on your armor. She will start by shaking uncontrollably, and her eyes will glaze over as if a curse is upon her. She has been known to run from window to window shutting them time and time again to make sure that they are closed. Pulling the curtains might be excessive - but then opening them again because she wants to see it coming towards her. She might have dillusions of the apartment complex being hit - or shaking to the ground, visualizing your car being crushed in the basement parking lot. Tree limbs blowing might indicate 'something being out there.....'. She will shut her eyes but claim she can still see the lightening through her eyelids - and when you wonder why she opens the windows after closing them she will think... and think... and say, I was too warm. And then, when that first CRasH HITs - she may grab your arms and legs and crush you with her arms and scratch her with her nails and SSSCCCCRRRREEEEAAAAMMM!!!!! Wait.... that was last night right? Oh... never mind. Scheorry.... XOXOX yer mom in law... (gotta love da Manda girl)
