Raining Tacos

"Mama," my ten-year-old son said.  "I'm going outside to get dinner."

I looked at that kid.  "What do you mean, 'you're going outside to get dinner'?  I'm making dinner right now.  Inside."

He shook his head.  "Nope.  I'm getting my dinner outside.  It's going to be raining tacos."

I looked outside, up into the clear blue sky.  "Dude.  I'm afraid you're mistaken.  I don't see any taco clouds up there."

"Don't worry.  I know they're up there."  The kid looked really confident about this.

"Okay.  How do you know?" I asked.

"Because it said so on YouTube."  He shoved his iPod in my face and made me watch a video.

Here it is for your viewing enjoyment:



"I see," I said, after viewing the thing.  "If you need any tomatoes on it, let me know.  Because I didn't see anything about it raining tomatoes for the tacos.  And you need your veggies!"

    Well, it is Taco Tuesday. Maybe it's also Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...

    Yes, if it's on YouTube (or the net in general) it *must* be true! Haha!

      I'll put in a special order for you, and see if they can come down in your backyard.

    That is so cute. You're right: They don't mention tomatoes, but the tomato is a fruit. Maybe you can substitute spinach for the lettuce so you all get a dark green cancer preventing veggie.

    Love,

      Good thinking. Because refried beans probably wouldn't look so good falling from the sky! ;00

    If it rained tacos, I would be in Heaven. I need that forecast here... just maybe not when I walk to work. I don't want to show up covered in taco.

    That is cute. I always say, "I swear it's on the Internet, therefore it must be true."

    I'm waiting for a shower of chocolate M&M's.

    PS Aren't tomatoes a fruit?

      Somebody else mentioned that tomatoes are a fruit. Yes, technically they are, but I'm going to keep them in the veggie department, because that's how I was taught many eons ago. ;0)

    Cool video. Thanks for sharing it. The next time the forecast is suppose to be for rain, maybe it will instead be raining tacos, lol.
