In their own words

Editor’s note: Pharos-Tribune lifestyle writer Melissa Soria poses a question to a group of youngsters each week to get their take on a topic. We hope you enjoy their responses as much as we do. We polled children in Kathy Bahnaman’s kindergarten class at Columbia Elementary School in Logansport and asked the following question:



Why does it rain so much in the springtime?



Because there are rainy clouds.

-Elizabeth Wells



So people can run around and jump in rain puddles.

-Wesley Grandstaff



To help the flowers grow because water helps them grow.

-Kaitlyn Steele



Because God cries.

-Joey Humphrey



It helps put fires out.

-Daren Wynn



I have no idea. That’s a hard one. Maybe there’s a lot more clouds than usual.

-Nellie Walthery



Because people don’t want to ride their bikes.

-Madelyn Bookwalter
