   That can’t be physically healthy. Probably does wonders for the soul, though.

   Johnnydoc5. That brings me memories of the aftermath of a Monsoonal Thuderstorm downpour that flooded the street at my Grandparents home it El Paso Texas during the summer monsoon season when I was a kid, After the storm & the downpour subsided, Me My brothers & my cousins swam the flooded streets like it was a swimming pool! Of course we’d showered after “swimming” in the flooded street because of the built-up oil & God know what other “things” that was in the runoff!

   As long as it’s not lightning, I’m just fine with that. Usta do it myself!

   And bigg, I know about them floods. Got my picture in the paper rowing a boat up our street after Hurricane Irene. Oodles of fun!

   johnnydoc5: getting wet is physically unhealthy? News to me. I used to play in the rain every time it started, haven’t died yet.

    playing in puddles is great. swimming in floods not safe. We have septic tanks here

    I worked outside for over 10 years, rain or shine.
    I didn’t like the lightning much, but I kind of liked a light rain.

    They dance in the rain like Gene Kelly who danced in the rain at the movie. What is joyful to dance in the rain?

    I used to float the irrigation ditch on a home-made scrap wood raft.

    I didn’t play in the rain because the thick glasses I wore would get wet and useless, but I’d go out afterward and find mud and make faces and other things out of it. I wanted to see what it looked like dry, but could never find anything. I still don’t know if they just disintegrated or if other kids mashed them.

    It it was merely a rain downpour when I was growing up, Momma let us kids go out and play in the rain.

    This brings back very fond memories - my brother and I were caught in a downpour coming home from delivering newspapers (way back when that was a kid’s job). It was a warm summer afternoon, so Mom said “Stay out!”. We splashed around in puddles, got soaking wet and had a blast. When we were done, Mom met us at the door with big thick towels. That was close to 40 years ago, but it’s a memory I will always have.

    Oh yeah - chromosome I had thick glasses too - I can’t recall that being a problem. I guess I didn’t care that I couldn’t see.

    I always loved playing in the rain. I still go for walks in the rain once in a while. Thunder storms I enjoy from inside. Most of the time.

    I remember one downpoour here they said it was a “hundred year storm” I was too upset to go out in it….had a major party planned and had to sit down and call about 100 people and cancel….had spare ribs stocked up for the BBQ at the party. Ate ribs till I couldn’t stand them anymore. The party never was rescheduled

    Burgundy2 said, 4 months ago

    That’s a real bummer, caddy.1957. I had an open house planned for about 50 people one Christmas time, but due to a blizzard, almost no one could make it, so I feel your pain!

    What nice grandaunt-grandnephew-grandniece time they’re having out there.

    Even for gorwn-up Baldo and Tía Carmen, it’s feels good to relive your niñez (childhood) by playing in the rain.

    ¿Habéis vosotros la niñez de Miguel J.? (Have you seen Michael J.’s childhood?)

    Bigg, that is creative.
    
    Farren, you must have a strong immune system, because I remember me and the siblings always getting sick after playing in the rain. Unless it was summer, perhaps I should have specified.
