What not to take in the rain

1. War paint that is not water resistant. A majority of the time, it is hard to look intimidating on the battlefield with streaks of color running down your face.
2. Fuzzy slippers. Although this adorable footwear is wonderful for around the house, when introduced to rainwater they become a pair of wet creatures.
3. A book. Wet pages are quite fragile and difficult to read. Your book will thank you for keeping it out of the rain.
4. Most cats. Unless you wish to be scratched, it is not wise to take a house cat outside when it is raining.
5. Candy. If your treat gets wet, it could become sticky or difficult to eat in some other fashion.
6. Fish. Though at home in water, it is not good to put your fish in a  puddle.
7. Electronics. Most electronic devices do not function well when wet. I suggest you avoid using them in the rain.
8. Dogs. They might enjoy bounding through the rain, but a wet dog can be quite smelly.
9. Gingerbread men. Run or walk, it matters little. For soggy gingerbread is quite brittle.
10. Young children. They may enjoy playing in the puddles, but catching a cold is no fun. Make sure they are properly dressed if they do go out.
