You Know You’re From The Desert When…

…You walk a friend out from a visit and the conversation goes something like this:

Me: (Opening the door)  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Friend: Yeah, thanks for having me over.

(I step out onto the porch and stare out into the darkness… friend follows a moment later.)

Me: It’s raining!

Friend: Um, yeah.  It’s Seattle.

Me: (Bouncing like an excited toddler) Oh my gosh!  It’s raining!

Friend: (Laughs)  Yes, it does that here.

Me: Holy cow!  It’s so cool!  Hey, I’m from the desert.  Rain is exciting.

Yes, I still get super excited when rain starts falling from the sky.  I’m willing to bet if you check in with me after winter, you’ll get the same reaction.  That’s how moisture-deprived I am.
