Why "surprise"? Didn't I just note that *I* am unfamiliar with the
term, "sunshower"? :-) And my spellcheck isn't familiar with it,
either, for that matter.

It seems to me *now* that the concept of a guy beating up on his wife
because of something that he doesn't like, but which is totally
outside of her control, is pretty sick. But, at the time, I was like,
"He beats her. She cries. Her tears are the raindrops. Got it."
