A serious person wouldn't say

"Did the water come from the sky, or the rivers, or the ocean?"

They would say "was it run off from the rain, rivers that overflowed their banks or from high tides that swamped the dikes."

Its sounds like "Oh children look at the choo choo train" when the kids are in their twenties.
