U is for Umbrella


The picture above is not the actual umbrella but it works as an illustration!

 A couple years ago I was staying with my daughter to help out after she had hand surgery. One of my responsibilities was to take my granddaughter to and from school. They live in a very rainy climate--especially in the spring! 

 So, I arrived at the school early to pick my granddaughter up from school. It was raining, of course, so I grabbed my granddaughter's umbrella from the backseat thinking she would be thrilled I thought of it! I opened it up and put it over my head, not looking at the umbrella. As I was waiting, some older children walked by, looked at me and giggled! Then a teacher walked by, looked at me, smiled and said, "Cute!" pointing to my umbrella. I just smiled.

 Well, my granddaughter finally came out so I handed her the umbrella and saw what everyone was amused about...the umbrella had ears! You can be sure I check to see what the umbrella looks like now before standing out in public!

 We don't get much rain where I live and it's a good thing because the only umbrella I have is a pink one with Victoria's Secret printed on it! I think I would rather use an umbrella with ears:D

    My granddaughters live in Texas. It rarely rains there, yet they have a collection of umbrellas. If it even looks cloudy, they want to take an umbrella. They are always hopeful that it will rain so they can use an umbrella.

      My granddaughter will take her umbrella even when there's NO chance of rain...just in case!
