I got a text at 1:15 this morning that said "You know you've got a good hostess when you ask, 'Hey, can I have some water?' and she says 'No!' and then she spills water all over you ;)!"
Three hours earlier I was warning her and her sister that I had spilled some water earlier in the day, and thanks to the incredible ability of my carpet not to be mopped up, there was still a damp spot. When she asked for the water to drink, I was totally kidding. I don't know why, but its one of those things that is so obvious that the answer is going to be yes, whenever someone asks me for water I just have to say no.
I went into the kitchen and got a water for her, her sister, and one for me. I sat down on the couch. We were watching Vantage point. If you've never seen it, its kind of like Ground Hogs Day meets any run of the mill spy/police/ action drama, and I will leave it at that. Any way, fifteen minutes after I got the waters, a bomb exploded on the movie and I knocked over my water (which was sitting ON the couch). Instantly ice water soaked my pants, and then, well, we'll go British and just say pants again. I got up to grab a towel and everyone had a good laugh. Except , I hadn't mopped up that water yet, so before I could get back my friend was also getting an ice water surprise.
I grabbed a second towel, and we pretty much laughed about it for the rest of the night as we sat in our uncomfortably wet clothes and enjoyed our movie. I could have changed my clothes, as it was my house, but that would have been unfair, since I caused the spill in the first place, so I waited till everyone went home. It was actually a super fun night despite a special effect that would have been more suitable if we had been watching Titanic.
