If a child asks you where rain comes from, tell them it's God crying. If they ask why He's crying, tell them it's probably because of something they did.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A deadpan piece of advice with a cruel twist: explain rain as divine weeping, then, when the child asks the reason, pin it on the child's own misdeeds. The humour lies in turning a gentle explanation into casual guilt-tripping.
