My friend, a cradle Catholic, confided to me that her daughter's questions are becoming harder to answer. For instance, she wanted to know why it rains. "Oh, that's easy," I told her. "In fact, there's a Blue's Clues episode that describes the entire process." My friend said that she had told her daughter that rain is really the angels in heaven crying because that's what she was told as a child. I chided her, "Now, come on, angels don't cry; they are happy; they haven't anything to cry about."
