the ridiculousness of the post aside, "trying to think of times they've felt pain the past, but because they've led such sheltered, cotton-balled lives" is actually kind of a good line

    For my favorite birthday as a kid, my parents took me and some family friends to pizza during a summer shower. We ate under a covered patio while it downpoured, and when we'd finished the pizza we ran outside to splash and play in the storm drains until the rain dried up. The sound of water in motion is the most beautiful thing on earth to me - there's nothing sad about it.
