Two counts of FYI

First: When you step outside the current level of precipitation is less than expected, keep your cakeflap shut. Don't be like Adam the Spam-for-Brains here:
Me: [noting the light drizzle] Oh, that's not too bad. I've seen worse.
Sky: *cues torrential downpour*
Me: Um...
Sky: *sends lightning strike just for the hell of it*
Me: Gahhh! *runs for car like an otter on speedballs*
Remember, kids, God thinks hubris is funny.

Second: Two kids + ginormous leaf pile = best cardio workout EVER.
