    Adults react the same way. Throw a toewl over their head and run to get out of the rain.

    Funny…as kids we had to ask permission to be out in the rain, which made it fun.

    @The Snoopster(injured): Sorry to hear about the biking accident. Don’t know how you managed to do it on the same day that Calvin’s dad flew off his bike. Glad you weren’t sleeping on the roof like Calvin on Wednesday. Also glad it wasn’t a head injury. Good luck with your recovery, and good luck in school this fall.

    Yesterday’s strip was about Calvin’s parents. Calvin and Hobbes were not present, and Calvin and Hobbes weren’t even mentioned. Are there other strips that don’t even mention Calvin or Hobbes? CrazyIrishOperaGirl found some strips that didn’t contain Calvin or Hobbes, but Calvin was mentioned in them. (Thanks for the research and detailed strip descriptions, CrazyIrishOperaGirl.)

    Once I was sitting in the jacuzzi with some relatives when it started raining. We continued what we were doing until we heard thunder, then got out but stayed outside. Some of my cousins even then refused to get out, and balanced a picnic table on the edges of the hot tub to block out the rain. :)

    Sorry for the bad break. It’s no fun during the Summer time, when there are so many activities to do. On the plus side, it gives you more time to read Go Comics.

    Odd…we ran around in the sprinklers as kids, then ran around in the rain, too. To this day, I go outside and stand in the rain…must have something to do with living in the desert; I’m a desert vegetable (in more ways than one).

    Ha. Reminds me of here at the camp I work at….they have a “Sunday funday” in which they have a whole bunch of water activities. One Sunday it downpoured. The event was postponed, and it was funny seeing all these kids dressed to get wet huddled under porch roofs and trees!

    Actually, around here it’s not the rain but the lightning. We had a big storm yesterday with wind and lightning and all. You don’t want to be outside in that stuff.

    Thanks, cookies333. I had never seen that Calvin and Hobbes strip. I’ve been saving about 3 years’ worth of strips to enjoy for the first time as they are rerun in the future.Here is the strip, in case others had trouble with the long link:Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (January 13, 1995)By the way, to find a shorter link after you open a page using Google, right-click on the image, and then left-click on “Properties” or “Image Properties” or something similar.

    As a kid, when we in the backyard pool and it started to rain, Mom would call us in. If it was a nice tropical shower we would grumble and argue. Sometimes she would relent. If there was thunder and lightning dancing about, we didn’t wait for the raindrops — we were usually in the house before Mom called.

    Snoopster, I wish you swift and complete healing. It’s a real bummer that you got hurt during summer vacation a whole month before school starts. I hope you weren’t doing something “Calvin” to cause the accident — on the other hand, if you were, then at least you were having a lot of fun before the crash.

    I remember many times being in the swimming pool, and my mother telling me to come in because it was going to rain.

    Was she afraid I would get wet?

    I got caught in the rain the other night. It was the lightening that worried me. We stood under the awning of a funeral home, which was pretty funny. But it was that or walk for over half an hour on tree-lined streets.

    The Snoopster bummer and your almost finished with summer vacation.Think of it this way. 25-years-ago I stepped my my sons cowboy boot and I did not know where in my way as I was getting ready to answer phone. I sprang my right ankle, believe this your broken leg will heal way faster 3 weeks while a sprang takes longer for the muscles to heal. Make sure your cast does not get wet.
