Today, we went to my soon to be sister-in-law's (Kim) bridal shower. It was a really nice shower and we all had a good time. I have two stories from the shower. Here is the first:
The Scene: The shower was held outside and Mom, Becca, Rachel and I were sitting at one of the tables. After Kim had opened her gifts and people were starting to leave I took the empty water bottles to Kim's sister for recycling. Mom, Rachel and Becca were all standing relatively close to our table and on the table were some used cloth napkins and another empty water bottle. Of the four of us, I was the furthest away from our table and close to the backdoor of the house.
The Incident: It is a little windy and a wind gust comes through the backyard and the napkins and empty water bottle go flying off the table. The napkins fly into the pool and the water bottle makes some noise as it hits the pool deck.
The Aftermath: As the wind whipped up and blew these items off the table mom yells out "Kiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmm" as if to say it is ALL MY FAULT!!!! Paleeze! I had nothing to do with the wind and I was the farthest away from the table! Still, who goes and gets the napkins out of pool??? Of course it's me! The best part is everybody notices and starts to comment that everything must always be my fault. "That flew out of her mouth way too easy, it was like a reflex"
15 minutes later as I am in the car with Becca (waiting for mom to go back and get her purse-yet, another reason not to carry a purse) one of the women (LOLing) comes up to the car window and says to me "You really need to try to stay out of trouble" My only comment now is a very sarcastic, HA HA HA.

(1) Yeah, I tend to have this reaction, too, when things go wrong. For some reason the word "Kim" just seems appropriate to yell out. It's weird, huh? I tested this theory this morning by dropping a heavy book on my toe. The first word to pop out was, "Kiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmm!"
(2) Did you ever think that she was calling out to your soon-to-be-sis-in-law? Maybe she's being welcomed into the family by being blamed for all the things that go wrong?
(3) Will you be staying out of trouble today? I really could do without wind gusts, please :)
