You know you are a mom when you...
...arrive at the supermarket as it starts to rain. Hard. No problem, just look in the hatch for the trusty big red Mom umbrella.
It's not there.
Suddenly, you spy an umbrella. With a triumphant "HA!", you pull it out and realize that it's a small child-sized umbrella. Not only is it small, it's also light pink with a lovely ruffle around the edge. AS the rain pours down, you only have a moment to make that split second decision of:
A. Run through the parking lot and get soaked
or
B. Suck it up.
Hey, at least I was dry.

that was the sensible thing to do, but only if you don't like getting soaked by rain, which i LOVE

At least you HAD something in the trunk! Invariably I reach for the handy umbrella only to find I left it in the house last time I got the eldest off the bus in the rain. And the back-up umbrella? That went missing six months ago, the last time I needed it.

Hah! Reminds me of the years when I ran around Chicago using a child's sized Batman umbrella...

In all seriousness, I carry a daffodil yellow, ruffled umbrella. For one thing, every time I look at it I burst out laughing. For another, nobody's going to steal it since no other adult in Middlesex County would be caught dead carrying it.
Dreary days need colorful cures.
