You Know You Live in SoCal When:

1) Your 7 year old announces at breakfast, "IT'S SPRINKLING OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!" in a voice that you would expect to hear if it were, perhaps, the second coming.



2) Said 7 year old declares that , "It's raining cats and dogs outside!", when in fact the water is practically evaporating before it hits the pavement.
3) The 2 year old, whose memory does not go back to the last time it rains, looks at the wet subastance coming out of the sky with bewilderment and quizzically asks, "Wet?"
4) The two with soccer games begin crying when they realize they'll have to play soccer in the semi-mist because it's, "...freezing outside mom! How can you expect us to play in such cold weather?? That's not right!"(Direct quote- it was about 65 degrees) 5) The children spend the rest of the afternoon playing "Singin' in the Rain", much to the enjoyment of the neighbors, I'm sure.
6) And, last, the giraffe umbrella that Grandma Pam bought many, many months ago is used for the first time.

Yea---rain! We had a few drops here the other day, and the next-door neighbor mom led the way in puddle-stomping. Fun, fun!
Love the giraffe umbrella, Carissa!

7) KCAL 9 interrupts all programming to bring you "STORMWATCH! 2008"

I think Carissa may tend towards Susie in the overdramatic department.
