Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball

We
were
all
sitting
around
the
big
kitchen
table.
It
was
Saturday
morning.
Mom
was
squeezing
oranges
for
juice.
Henry
and
I
were
betting
on
how
many pancakes we each could eat. And grandpa was doing the flipping.

Seconds
later,
something
flew
through
the
air
headed
toward
the
kitchen
ceiling…


and landed right on Henry.

After we realized that the flying object was only a pancake, we
all laughed,
even grandpa. Breakfast continued quite uneventfully. All the other pancakes
landed in the pan. And all of them were eaten, even the one that landed on
Henry.

That night, touched off by the pancake incident at breakfast, grandpa

told
us the best tall-
tale bedtime story he’d ever told.


“Acros
s
an
ocean,
over
lots
of
huge
bumpy
mountains,
across
three
hot
deserts,
and
one
smaller
ocean…
there
lay
the
tiny
town
of
Chewandswallow…

In most ways, it was very much like any other tiny town. It had a Main Street
lined with stores, houses with trees and gardens around them, a schoolhouse,
about three hundred people, and some assorted cats and dogs.

But there were no food stores in the town of Chewandswallow. They didn’t
need any. The sky supplied all the food they could possibly want.

Whatever the weather served, that was what they ate. But it never rained rain.
It never snowed snow. And it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup
and
juice.
It
snowed
mashed
potatoes
and
green
peas.
And
sometimes
the
wind blew in storms of hamburgers.

When the townspeople went outside, they carried their plates, cups, glasses,
forks, spoons, knives and napkins with them. That way they would always be
prepared for any kind of weather.

The people could watch the weather report on television in the morning and
they would even hear a prediction for the next day’s food.


If there were leftovers, and there usually were, the people took them home
and put them in their refrigerators in case they got hungry between meals.

The menu varied. By the time they
woke up in the morning, breakfast was
coming down.


After a brief shower of orange juice, low clouds of sunny-side up eggs moved
in followed by pieces of toast. Butter and jelly sprinkled down for the toast.
And most of the time it rained milk afterwards.

Dinner
one
night
consisted
of
lamb
chops,
becoming
heavy
at
times,
with
occasional
ketchup.
Periods
of
peas
and
baked
potatoes
were
followed
by
gradual clearing, with a wonderful Jell-O setting in the west.
