I've concluded that I can't do life because I don't own an umbrella. I don't own an umbrella... Being heard is one thing. So I bought her one. I bought myself one too. I only used it a couple of times. I think hers is green and mine's black. See, he hadn't used his very much. So mine's black. It matches everything, goes with everything I wear. That's right.
