Is that rain?

Amy and I sat in our kitchen helping Megan bake cookies last week...aka. taste test them...when I thought I heard rain outside. I was a bit surprised even though it had been a little cloudy. My ears stayed perked as I listened for the rain. The steady sound of droplets of water continued, yet as I scanned towards the screen door in the kitchen, no rain could be seen. At this point, I was definitely confused, but positive I wasn't crazy.

I stood up and walked into the dining room. My gasp alerted Amy and Megan in the kitchen who had been steadily talking through my ponderings and I shouted "Oh, No! Rain...It's raining in the dining room!" As you can imagine, Amy and Megan ran into the dining room as I dramatically attempted to open the shutters and shut the window.

We all doubled over laughing at this point. The new sprinkler system at our house had been set up and aimed not only at the grass, but our dining room window. After the laughter subsided slightly, only slightly since this was an extremely funny matter, we mopped up the wet floor and dining table. Luckily, our wood floors are still intact and you would never know our dining table had been soaked by "rain."

I will forever smile at the phrase "It's raining in the dining room," though. It still makes me laugh.
