Of course my hair looks great - it's raining and I have to go outside

 There are some things in my life which are inevitable.

One is that whenever I wear a clean white blouse, I'll end up with stains on it from eating either chocolate or something with a bright red or orange sauce.

Another inevitability occurs when I wash and blow dry my hair so that it looks great. Today, when I looked in the mirror, I had to admit to myself that the end result looked fantastic: glossy, sleek and nicely shaped.

Then I had to go food shopping and I stepped outside...only to find it raining. Even with the too-small hood up, my hair got wet and I still ended up looking somewhat bedraggled. Typical. Typical.
