Anyone else doing a daily rain dance?
What runs but never walks? Water. What letter is always wet? The C. Why do sharks swim in salt water? Pepper water makes them sneeze! What do you call a hairy monster in a river? A weir-wolf! What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole? Hot cross bunnies. What happens if you throw a red sun hat in the Black Sea? It gets wet!
