I got in trouble because I spilled my drink, Ma'am, can I have another one? *sniffle*

I remember two instances where I spilled something, one in public and one in the house (the latter only occurred, say, two years ago...=.="). I was at a restaurant and basically my clumsiness got the better of me as my hand whacked my glass of soft drink and shattered on the floor. It was massively embarrassing 'cause 1) I wasn't exactly 5 years old or anything... 2) the restaurant was rather full. The waitress was nice about it, though. =D My parents just sighed; I felt guilty for the rest of the night but nothing major resulted from it.

The other instance occurred when I was, say, 7 years old. I think my father's mostly at fault here, but so am I: I was walking down the hallway into the lounge room, rather vivaciously mind you, and my foot came into contact with something. It was a glass of wine, my father's glass of wine that is. And it was kicked a fair way, too. The wine spilled everywhere, the glass got chipped, and I got yelled at. No physical contact though, that's never happened.

Gah...it makes me feel nauseous thinking about that glass being hurled across the room by my clumsy foot! /sarcasm

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't feel guilty about anything I've spilled.

Sorry, should have added the "/sarcasm". Just put it in now.

I, personally, have never been beaten by my parents, and I'm not psychologically damaged in any way. IMHO, there's a greater chance I would have been if they did hit me. It's such a debatable issue, though, so I'll just leave now that I've put in my two cents.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
