umbrellas & super heroes

garrett has been begging for an umbrella for a few years now.

i really do not like the combination of kids & umbrellas.

why?

when it's pouring rain and they have an umbrella,
chances are it will take 10 times longer to get in and out of the car.
then there's the issue of numerous wet umbrellas in the car.

then there's the problem of people
getting inadvertently poked with said umbrella.

kids & umbrellas together -- not a fan.

not too long ago,
garrett and his awesome {or annoying - depending on the day} powers of persuasion
convinced me to buy him an umbrella.

he listed off the different kinds of umbrellas
he wanted to look for based on what all the other kids at school had.
{thanks to their cool moms }
superman
batman
spiderman
the hulk
star wars

you get the idea.

we ended up with a darth vader umbrella.

and yes, since we bought it we have had absolutely no rain :)

but the whole point of this story,
is a little 3 yr old and his umbrella request...

mom, i really need a bruce wayne umbrella

ok, ryan
i'll buy you an umbrella...
just as soon as i find a bruce wayne one :)
