I am beginning to get annoyed at the forecast. Each afternoon, Accu-weather makes statements like ‘thunderstorms in the area, or little sun and thunderstorms, or just plain a.m./p.m. showers and thunderstorms likely’. My response, when is it going to stop? And, as to that forecast above? 40% chance? Malarky! It should read 100% because it has been coming down now for two weeks straight!
Pearl Bailey differs in her opinion of the rain. She loves to run outside and immerse herself in the puddles; she also delights in rolling her wet pelt in dirt in hopes of drawing a look of dismay from me, I suppose. There is a name for beings with this outlook – they are called Pluviophiles – beings that love the rain! I definitely do not fit into that category.
As a professed introvert, there is nothing I like more than spending time within the pages of a good book, and rainy days supply that mindset readily. Plus, I am always willing to wile away hours binge watching Netflix when the sky is emptying its tear ducts. But ask me if I enjoy a incessant deluge and every time my response will be “Merdi il Pluet!”
If you can’t figure that one out, go ask a French teacher for a translation.
