It is because @yoalldudes mentioned about umbrellas as freebies (thank you), i just wanna share these umbrellas that we have received from the school where i was working before and from my daughter's company. Some of those umbrellas in the picture were given as freebies during Christmas season and some were during company seminars or symposiums. There are some still wrapped in plastic which means haven't used yet. They are of different sizes too. I lost two of it the big ones, when i accidentally left it in a taxi cab. The driver did not return it even if it has my address and phone number.

Yeah maybe. It was mothers' day when i lost it so maybe he or she gave it as a gift to his or her mother.

I am glad you enjoyed, we never offer umbrellas, in our culture this brings bad luck.

@magallon I do not know why umbrellas are considered to bring bad luck, but I know that it is something we must never offer to someone.

@LadyDuck thank you for the info. it is my first time hearing about that belief. I have not heard anything like that here. We also have many beliefs but that i think is not included. Difference in culture maybe.

@RebeccasFarm its okay. Maybe the person who got it has no umbrella at home that is why he got interested in it.

I see you have a lot of umbrellas out there. It must rain a lot in your area.
