Emergency raincoat

I should have learned to carry an umbrella at all times having lived through the sporadic showers in Singapore for 2 years. Well, this happened to be the day that I'd to learn it the wet way. Luke and I spent all morning in some hot and sunny weather at the park, which after we hopped on a bus to go home. It was sunny all the way, until we were about 2 bus stops from home. Dark clouds gathered, and it was pouring buckets by the time we got to our stop. It's still a good 3 minute walk from the bus stop to a covered territory in our condo, so we decided to see if we could wait it out, staying under the sheltered bus stop. But after a continuous, unrelenting downpour for about 5 minutes, it seemed quite clear that the rain was here to stay. I found a plastic bag in my handbag, and being the resourceful mother that I am, I tore it into one flat sheet to hang it on Luke as a raincoat. We dashed through the watery spears while Luke laughed the whole way as if it was the most entertaining adventure he's ever had. We did pretty well though. By the time we got home, I, of course, was drenched, but Luke was barely touched, only the locks on his forehead got lightly doused.
