Similes

It's like when you're on your way home, walking, enjoying the flashy fall sunshine and the way the wind is wrestling the trees around and suddenly halfway there your son says, "Oh, I forgot my coat at the library." 

Or, you know, it's like when you are trying to cautiously close the closet door, not wanting to wake the sleeping baby, and after you move all the sleeping bags and the giant airplane and the fan, you realize the handle is actually tied onto the pony with a silk scarf.  Yeah, it's like that.
