You know you're in a drought when it finally rains and your toddler has forgotten what that's like. My daughter was so excited when she woke up one day last week and it was raining! She kept wanting me to pick her up so she could look out the window at it, exclaiming, "Hey rain! Hey, rain!" Then when it came time to leave for day care, she was freaked out about going out in it. I don't know if she thought it would hurt her or if she just didn't want to get wet. I had to re-introduce the idea of The Umbrella: how it works, what it does, it is not a threat but keeps you dry, etc. Bizarre but funny.
