A Moment Like This....Some People Wait a Lifetime

(This picture is a reenactment of actual events)

On my way to work on Friday it started to rain. Half way between my house and the subway station I contemplated going back for my rain coat or just sucking it up and running to the station. Deciding that I didn’t want to hike the stairs again I made the mad dash to the station. I spent most of the day in the office so the rain didn’t bother me much. It wasn’t until I needed to head home that I wished I would not have been so lazy in the morning. I am proud to announce that on the way to the subway station I experienced my first drive-by car splashing. Yes, I know this is the kind of thing people dream about, and it finally happened to me. I didn’t really have the proper rain gear on, but I don’t think it would have helped if I had. The yellow taxi hit the puddle just right and completely soaked me from the waist down. And in true moments of puddle drenching I just stood there mouth open with a look of pure shock. This was the perfect way to start a Friday night and one more stereotypical movie moment that I can say I’ve experienced in real life.
