Clever Boy

This morning at 7am when we woke up it was raining.

As usual, Seth was late leaving for class. Except this morning he was even more late.

This is because of his dilemma of biking to class in the rain. (and I'm not talking about his body getting wet) His solution? He took one of our garbage bags and wrapped his backpack up in it. I came out into the living room to find him struggling to puncture arm holes through the bag.

I don't know if it was the little amount of sleep I had, the fact that I had never before seen someone do this, or his indignation when I started laughing at him, but laugh I did. The whole scene was hilarious to me.
Naturally I grabbed our camera which was sitting so conveniently on the coffee table.

Now, Seth rarely shows the slightest bit of annoyance at the irritating things I do (and I assure you, there are many), but this morning he was quite obstinate about me taking pictures of his garbage-bag shield, as it was making him late.

"I don't see what's so funny about protecting my backpack from the wet."

Yes. That is a direct quote. But persevere I did (and truth be told, the whole situation was even funnier to me because of his annoyance) and I got my blessed pictures.

This is after successfully getting his arms through the trash bag holes he created.

He stopped for about a millisecond on his way out the door so that I could get a picture of the back.

I'd also just like to point out that I did not make him late.

He was already late, I just made him more late.

What a clever husband I have.
