As luck would have it, well…MY luck, it started pouring down rain as Carson, Ella, and I were leaving Target, the umbrella in our car parked at the opposite end of the parking lot.
With my hands full getting Ella’s hood up, I was unable to help Carson as he tried unsuccessfully to put the hood up on his own coat.
“Mommy!” he huffed. “I CAN’T GET IT UP!” he shouted. And I mean REALLY shouted.
An older, bordering on elderly, gentleman and his wife, passing us in the parking lot, looked directly at us and without missing a beat said, “Me either, kiddo.” He smiled and winked.
His wife’s eyes and mouth opened wide in horror as she grabbed his arm a little too roughly. “Lighten up, Alice,” he said with a shrug.
oh my hell!! that is freaking hysterical Jennifer.
I might have fallen into the wet puddles laughing.
Gotta love anyone with wit and personality!
OMG. I’d have laughed so hard.

Sometimes that’s what you need to turn a rainy day into a little bit of fun!
I work in a retirement community – if you only knew!!!
Did “Alice” stop and help Carson with his hood or did you have to help “Alice” get her heart started again?
Well, at least it wasn’t the WalMart lady who told Carson a witch would get him if he didn’t behave….
A good friend of mine has a link to many blogs on her site. Yours is the only one that I truly enjoy. Thanks for the laughs and the truth.
