“When two men share an umbrella, both of them get wet.”

I thought I'd unbury this ancient painting from the archive section on my website for this week's Illustration Friday. This painting is from many, many years ago, but seemed fairly appropriate for today's topic:
It's even doubly appropriate, since as it happens, I'm currently working on a companion piece to this illustration which I hope to finish soon.
Thought this was perfect for the Rainy Day prompt. Hope everyone is well! =)
“When two men share an umbrella, both of them get wet.”

Would you not be lucky if umbrellas fall from the sky when it rains.
Double page spread from a picture book I illustrated titled Sort It Out! Published by Sylvan Dell Publishing. It has sold more copies than any other book I have illustrated and has won awards. When I first read the manuscript I felt like it was the book I had always wanted to illustrate.
A scene from a Ladybug Magazine piece: Flowers on the Roof, about a family living in a sod house on the prairie. What to do when it rains inside over the stove!
Sharing a ducky umbrella can be fun!Cropped image from Breezy Bunnies.

Cover art from a period in the middle ages, possibly the Stone Age, when I used actual paint. Sometimes I miss those days. ~Jenny

SCENE: A PHARMACY OR ANYWHERE, ACTUALLY. THREE PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO PAY FOR ITEMS AT THE CASH.
CUSTOMER 1
(placing item on counter along with umbrella)
Just going to put this down here... Ooops - didn't mean to crowd anyone
CUSTOMER 2
(directly behind)
No problem. I'll just move my items back a bit to give you some more room
CUSTOMER 1
Don't worry about it. It's only a jar of jam.
CUSTOMER 2
Is it good. I mean, have you had some before?
CUSTOMER 1
Nope. First time. It was on special at nine-nine cents. Mind you, it's only good for 10 more days...
CUSTOMER 2
Do you eat a lot of jam?
CUSTOMER 1
Depends on the day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends how jammy I'm feeling.
CUSTOMER 3
(in front of line)
I'm here!
CUSTOMER 1
Sorry?
CUSTOMER 3
I'm here, too.
CUSTOMER 1
I see
CUSTOMER 3
I need room for my things
CUSTOMER 1
O-kay...
CUSTOMER 3
Could you give me some room for my things, please?
CUSTOMER 1 looks at her for a few seconds, down at her items and moves the umbrella and jam away from CUSTOMER 3
CUSTOMER 3
Your umbrella is wet and it's touching my toilet paper!
CUSTOMER 1
That would be as a result of the pouring rain outside
CUSTOMER 3
You're making the counter wet
CUSTOMER 1
O-kay...sorry but the cashier is doing your items and you'll be outta here, soon
CUSTOMER 3
Still, your umbrella takes up a lot of space
CUSTOMER 1
I already removed it off the counter and moved back my jam so it won't touch your items
CUSTOMER 3
But you made the counter all wet
CUSTOMER 1
(putting hand in purse, produces Kleenex and wipes counter)
There! Allll gone!
CUSTOMER 3 grabs bag
CUSTOMER 3
There should be a sign posted telling people they can't put wet umbrellas on the counter!
CUSTOMER 3 storms out of store
CUSTOMER 1
Some people just gotta have their space!
(turns to CUSTOMER 2)
Oh gee - am I dripping water on your feet? I'm so sorry...here let me wipe them...
