We got caught in some rain yesterday evening. Make that some torrential rain. It was pouring cats and dogs and probably a little old woman (in a shoe) here and there for good measure.
We were on a walk with Peanut. She was in her “car” (plastic contraption with a handle attached to it). Which has absolutely no protection from the elements whatsoever. Of course we continued walking when we heard thunder. Of course we were several blocks from home when the rain deluge began. Of course we didn’t bother to take an umbrella.
We hid under a giant pine tree for a while (it provided excellent coverage, by the way. Next time you are caught in violent rain pick a pine tree. I don’t understand exactly where the rain goes, but that’s neither here nor there). A man in the neighboring house actually came out and invited us in. We declined, but it was heartwarming – I’ve never lived in a place where people would do something like that. Last year, in fact, I think I saw my upstairs neighbors a grand total of three times.
Anyways, we stood there for a while. Thinking it would “let up”. Of course things never “let up” when you really need them to. So eventually we decided it was time to go, rain and all. We made a break for it and ran. The Husband held Peanut and I followed. I could see her laughing at me over his shoulder (it must be great to be a kid – they seem to find humor in every situation that makes adults uncomfortable, including public nudity and farting).
It wasn’t so bad, though. Because I, too, had a smile on my face. Smug, albeit. But a smile.
Because I’m a human being, and couldn’t help myself.
You see, my friends, this walk was the husband’s idea.
Nice going hubby!!! I’d use that one as leverage if I were you for sure!
I would be smug too. And yes, children loooooooooove unexpected excitement, especially if mom and dad are participating.
Ha! That does make it oh so amusing!!!
Ha! great ending to the story! that would suck! but is probably a fact of life for city dwellers.
I really like your blog. Very good posts! Please continue posting such awesome cnotent.
Enjoy the Smug. Enjoy it while you can..

LOL, I did not expect that ending! Children are so innocently fun-loving.
Okay, this post? Totally had me giggling
We need to gtg so we can laugh at our husbands!
This is a very interesting point of view. Your blog is refreshing, but I wish one could find more content, though. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Keep up the good work. thanks.
Haaa!! Aren’t these types of situations always the husband’s idea??
