"DOG: Mummy, Mummy, Mummy! Is it time for walkies now? Is it? Is it? Is it time?
ME: Darling hound, look out of the window.
DOG: Oooh, what's that?
ME: That, my poppet is very heavy rain and hail. And listen .... *rumble, bang, rumble*
DOG: Oooooh, what's that?
ME: That, my sweetling, is thunder.
DOG. Oh. I see. So is it time for walkies now? Is it? Is it? Is it time?!"
