What’s your stuck-in-the-rain story? My walk back from the Pacers game wasn't my worst. That honor went to when my mom and I delivered newspapers during my childhood. One Sunday morning, we had to deliver hundreds of the heaviest papers of the week in the pouring rain. This story already sounds like it came from pioneer times. The heaviest newspaper today has as many pages as a restaurant placemat. We bagged all the papers and set off into the elements. It didn't stop raining for one second of the two hours it took us to do that route. I got so wet my toes turned pruney.

Afterwards, I had to take a shower before church. It was the most absurd thing I've ever done. I was already soaking wet. The shower might have actually dried me off. What's your rain story? Sound off in the comments.
