While animals cannot predict the weather many have their ways to sense when the weather is changing and how to keep themselves out of danger. One example ot this is how sharke will swim into deeper waters to avoid the hard currents. They may not know that a hurricane is coming but they know that the currents are stronger and they want to get away from that pull. Many animals have learned how to survive on their instinct. Worms will come out of the ground when it rains so they do not drown in their holes. Birds have learned that they can make the same sound when hitting thie beaks against the ground. This makes the worm think that it is raining and the bird now has its next meal.
Ask them to sit down and to have a calm mind. Show them thsat you are responsible and state the facts. Keep in mind that it is hard convincing a parent you are responsible and that they always stop you from talking and state their point so when you're talking tell them to listen because you didn't come to them to have an argument.
