U is for Umbrella
I remember as a little girl watching a movie in which the female lead was dancing with an umbrella. For days I practiced twirling my umbrella and dancing with it in my room. After being fussed at for playing with my umbrella, I prayed for rain, just so I had an excuse to play with my umbrella. Living in Washington state, meant I did not have to wait long to use my umbrella. I remember getting soaked because I would rather play with the umbrella, in the rain, than use it for protection from the rain.
