Prompt: Ridiculous

Zaree bit her lip and cocked her head. "Why?” She repeated.

“I.. I don't know!” The man waved his arms in exasperation. “It's just what they say.”

Zaree looked outside at the thick rain. “And it would hurt the cats and dogs if they fell from as high as the clouds. That wouldn't be nice at all.”

The man went back to drinking his ale. “You're right. Ridiculous phrase. Forget I said it, lil' bush.”

Zaree bit her lip again and glanced outside, her confusion still on her face. “Okay. I'll try.”
