Any idea why here in this corner of Oklahoma we got that dusting of snow?
It had nothing to do with a cold front or precipitation.
It was because this child
pulled out all the stops.
She went to bat for all the children out there who were
keeping their fingers crossed for snow.
Ellie slept with her pajamas inside out AND backwards.
She slept with a spoon under her pillow
and flushed some ice down the toilet.
And whaddya know, the next morning,
with her nose pressed hard to the cold glass,
what did she see but white flakes falling daintily from sky
Next time you'd like some snow, you know who to call.
