I love the dry sense of humour. It's not funny that your poor umbrella broke, but it made me laugh when you said it wasn't meant to bend that way. And I kept laughing through to the end. Just the way you worded it. I felt bad for the poor little guy. Yet I laughed anyway! πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜­

It was so much fun writing this one. I do miss the duck bill umbrellas though. For a kid with a vivid imagination, the little face was all I needed to make it into a new best friend. You ever do that with anything as a kid?

Yes! I loved everything with faces. Those duck umbrellas were so adorable. I used to talk to things with little faces, and pet them. I definitely had a very vivid imagination as a kid. I think I still do.

A duck shaped reminder of the things we lost. The things that were never upright. The things that were supporting the columns of our dryness. Excellent
