When (and why) do you bathe in the rain?

I can still remember... When we were still kids, my other older siblings and myself would bathe in the rain, and play in the puddles. How happy we were when it rains... Maybe we thought it's a good playtime, also a bonding time for us siblings. The last time I bathe in the rain was 10 years ago. I even had my nieces with me, without my sister (their mother) knowing it. Good thing is they didn't get sick, or else, I and the kids' nanny might have been punched by my sis. :-D

I still love putting my gumboots on and sloshing around in puddles! I still love having races with leaves in streams of flowing water. I still love the carefree sensation of standing out in the rain with my arms extended and my eyes closed as my face greets the sky. I still love catching and eating hail as it falls from the clouds. I play in the rain more in the Summertime than Winter though as I don't want to catch a chill.

wow! Good for you! Isn't it a nice feeling when you've done something that you've been wanting, but for some reasons, you just sometimes can't?

The last time I played and bathed under the rain was when I was still in grade school. It was so much fun especially when you're with friends and cousins. Now, that I am in college. I don't do it anymore. Not because I am too old to do it but because I can't seem to find the right time and too busy to play under the rain. Also, I can't afford to get sick and get some colds. There are many things to do in school and being sick is not necessary at all. Still, I'd love to play and bathe under the rain. If given the chance, at the right moment and with the right people, I surely will.
