Top Tweets of the Week: Dec. 1-7

By Meredith Hirt February 6, 2015

Rain, rain, why won't you go away, and come again when spring is on its way? I don't know about you, but it's December, and that means the only precipitation I want to see is snow. Wet weather has been frequent recently, but rather than wallow in misery, I've been enjoying all the adorable rain-boots-and-puddle-jumping photos in my Twitter feed. After all, every cloud has a silver lining—and there have been a lot of clouds lately—there are still plenty of ways to have fun on rainy days!

Child: My friend has a brother and he's acting a little coocoo. Me: Call me when he's full coocoo. Medium coocoo is allowed. — Ingrid (@MagpieLibrarian) December 5, 2014

As a medium coocoo person myself, I fully back this rule.

Quack! I bet that umbrella can brighten even the dreariest of days. Until the rain turns to snow, I'll keep trudging around the city under my boring black umbrella. If anyone wants to gift me a cuter one for Christmas, I won't be opposed! Join us on Tuesdays for more Top Tweets.
