I had to go to a doctor appointment this morning. The timing was perfect and I was able to take my son Andrew to school. I left the top down when I parked the car last night. I asked Andrew if he wanted to go to school with the top up or down. The weather told me "up." Andrew said "down." Since we are less than a mile from the school and a little drizzle in never hurt anyone I left the top down.

We arrive at school and Andrew asks if I will be leaving the top down. I said, "No, I am going to put it up because it looks like it might rain." Andrew then said, "Yeah! If you put it up then Murphy’s law says that it will not rain today!" and jumped out of the car. 

He is five.
