We had some friends over for dinner last Thursday. Tom made pulled pork sandwiches and homemade red potato french fries. Zack and Ali brought cake to have for dessert. TJ and Roary ate as quickly as possible so they could get back to playing.
At one point, the kids came back out to ask for more juice. So I got a bottle of V8 V-Fusion Peach Mango juice out of the fridge. I cracked the cap open before I realized their cups needed to be rinsed out first. (Different kind of juice.) Then I proceeded to shake the bottle of juice… forgetting that I’d opened the cap.
I was completely covered in juice. From my shirt to my socks, I was drenched in peach mango juice, and it was all over the kitchen floor.
I burst out laughing. There was nothing else I could do. Everyone looked at me, stunned, then started laughing as well.
I excused myself so I could go get changed upstairs, and Tom mopped up the juice off the floor for me. I could hear the jokes from the dining room about how covering myself in juice was just a way to escape our little “dinner party.”
I came back downstairs wearing dry clothes, and we all had another laugh about it. I even tweeted about it later, and apparently it was amusing even in the retelling. So I retold it again. 🙂

Oh my! That is hilarious!
When my sister was a teen she always slept through breakfast and grab a drinkable yogurt on the way to school to drink in the car. One memorable morning my mother asked her for some, and did what she always did, shook the bottle before drinking from it. Sadly my sister, to be helpful, had already removed the cap… yogurt ALL over the car. Yum!
Glad you all had a good laugh!
