Instead of enjoying the free “shower”, the mother ducks behind her young son and uses him as an umbrella to protect herself from the relentless splashes.

As for her son, he seemed to be enjoying himself as he kicked wildly in midair and wiped the water off his face.

What made the clip all the more amusing was the fact that the duo were seated right in front of the splash zone where they were expected to get wet during the show.
