rainy season is coming or i think its started already, during this time i remember my childhood...when i was younger me and my neighbors or sometimes my cousins or friends used to play in the rain...we really enjoy it and have so much fun..its like having a very big shower...even when i'm on my teen age years i still play on the rain sometimes...but now i don't do it anymore...and i'm thinking if its still safe to shower and play on the rain now that the environment is very polluted... i miss those days... how about you? have you experienced showering, playing under the rain? do you have fun doing it? thanks and have a nice day! :-)

Hi Ck! When we were in our childhood and we were very young, we would play in rain, whenever we would get any opportunity. It was great fun soaking oneself in the rain. When it rained, we would go to our roof top and will take bath, while playing games with each other. However, now a days, we get less opportunity to bath in rains because the amount of rain has decreased over the years and moreover we have grown older..

hello ck! Yes, whenever it rains, it creates a kind of sensation in our bodies and mind and we fall in love with falling drops of rain either we are inside or outside. (Yesterday, I got drenched in the very heavy downpour, on my way back to home from my office). Don't worry, I suppose, rain water does not get polluted, it is as pure as anything and no other water cannot match its pureness, so you can enjoy yourself in the rain.

hello dpk! well i think most of us really loves playing in the rain in our younger years...and because its really fun! and i guess its really one of the best memories in my childhood days... wow, its great that you were able to go to your roof top to play and enjoy more taking a bath in the rain...with us, we just shower in the water from the roof! hehehe the water that flows in the gutter...hehehe yes, nowadays we can't do such things anymore...because we are aging and we are more busy and less opportunity and rain is not that safe anymore...i think due to pollution... thanks again...:-)

I have posted something similar to this way back then. Simply because I love to play in the rain. When I was a child, I often get scolded by my mother considering that I usually go out when its raining and have fun. Now that I have a child, there are times that I go out with him when its raining just to enjoy and have fun.

Hahaha, there is no need for apologies. You surely have the right to express what you want. Well, I am glad that there are lots of us here who really enjoy playing in the rain. Let's enjoy!

Yeah I had and I will never forget it as long I am still having a right mind to remember it. Ours I think were worst because I guess you were born in the city unlike me I was born in a remote province.. I remember when I was a kid, with my friends and relatives, during rainy days those were one of the happiest moments of our life.. We created a game instantly just to have fun, chasing there and everywhere. Sometime we swam into a swamps and canals which were filled of rain water but unlike nowadays the kind of canals and swamps you could see it is so polluted that even fishes could not resist. In our time canals and swamps when filled with rain water were clear water and from there we jumped and swam until the rain stopped. Ohhh how I wish I could turn back my childhood days..Now? What I could just do is just to reminisce those happy moments at my childhood...Cheers

oh well during my childhood days my town is not yet a city and our house is located near rice fields...and another thing i remember, when its raining me and my cousins are catching frogs! and later our mothers cooked it! its very delicious! i like it and i miss it... and also during those days there are still some clean swamps and rivers where we can swim although i don't know how to swim! now...those were just memories...because the rice fields are no more there...it was converted into a subdivision! so sad...:-(

Sometimes I wish I have a big yard, with privacy (of course) so that I can shower in the rain. I mean, why not? Isn't it nice to enjoy something natural from the environment? Anyway, I don't have such yard, so I did not have the chance. Playing in the rain? Sounds fun. Provided that there is no lightning.

hehhe well yes its quite dangerous to play in the rain when there's lightning! hehehe that's why we are not doing that! but you know, in my place when i was a kid...we also don't have a big yard but still we are able to play in the rain! hehehe we just play in the street...well actually its because i am living in a small community where almost all people know each other and our houses are fronting the rice fields! its really fun playing in the rain!

when i was a kid, i used to play a lot in the rain together with my friends. we enjoy the little drops that fall from the sky. and now that i am a grown up, i still used to play in the rain, enjoy the drops, every bit of it. for me, rain drops feels like tears of my departed fiance from the sky.

When I was still a child, rainy season is a fun and always be a great season for us in the province. I often play in the rain and took a bath their and me and my friends had great time running through the rain. It was a magical childhood because we always had fun especially during rainy season. But right now that I am adult, though I still love rain, but I never go out and play fun in the rain for fear of getting sick because of pollution.

I play sports in the rain, sure. But I won't go outside just to run around and get wet. I like just watching the rain though. I remember one time I went out in the rain for no reason when I was younger, and I got pretty sick. Ever since then I don't really stay in the rain unless I'm playing sorts.

I love to play in the rain. The only thing is i always seem to miss it. It will sometimes rain at night and I will be asleep so no way will i get up to go play in the rain. Other times it rains while I am even at work or on my way home from work. But as soon as i get home the rain stops. Its like it doesn't want me to play in the rain.
