on the origin of deism

just the other week me and the Better Half were chatting about the weather, as one does

"I wish" said I "that we had some proper snow"
"oh"
"yeah, I hate this frozen slushy rainy stuff, it either ought to snow properly or not. Big fluffy flakes"
"why didn't you say"
"huh? well, got to go"

...20 minutes pass...

Ring. Ring.
"Hi. That was quick"
"Huh?"
"Look out the window. It is snowing. Big fluffy flakes"
"You're welcome"

We're expecting thunder this afternoon.
Heavy rains.
Flood warning.

I think a sacrifice is in order. Maybe some precious objects.
Or a student. A small one to start with.
Then maybe it will snow.
