Grown-ups!

But grown-ups are boring because here’s what we (I guess I have to include myself among the grown-ups now) do when it rains and we’re outside. We huddle tighter against the table under the covered walkway. We zipper up a windbreaker. We rescue the books and papers hanging out into the rain.

But here is how children respond to rain: Children run into the middle of the muddy road. Children strip off all
clothing except underwear, if they happen to be wearing any. Children jump up and down in the pouring rain in the growing puddles like clumsy storks trying to take flight.
