Alessandra: Mommy, did you know Miss Jessica lived through a hurricane in her basement? What happens when the hurricane comes?
Mommy: It takes the roof off, the beds, the toilets, the tables, sofas, toys… Then when you came out of the basement there is nothing left.
Alessandra: Do they go to the orphanage?
Mommy: Only if the kids no longer have parents. But if they do have mommy and/or daddy they go to a shelter
Alessandra: What is a shelter?
Mommy: Is a place where people can get a cup of soup and a spot to put a sleeping bag and sleep.
Alessandra: are there books?
Mommy: I don’t think so.
Alessandra: Is there a bathroom?
Mommy: Yes, there is a bathroom for all to share. Like when you are in school.
Alessandra: Is there a hot seat?
(In school the teacher asks the next child who needs to go to the bathroom to sit in the hot seat to wait for their turn.)
Mommy: No, I think they just stand in line.
Alessandra: How come it didn’t happen to our house?
Mommy: Because we prayed to God to send his angels to protect us and our house.
Alessandra: So, if you don’t pray the hurricane comes and if you pray you are safe?
Mommy: It can happen even when we pray, but when we pray God sends extra angels to protect us.
Alessandra: Few… good thing we pray!
Alessandra: Mommy I think we should say an extra special prayer for the hurricane today.
Alessandra: Dear Jesus, thank you for keeping us safe from the hurricane, please protect us when something bad happens. Amen
