One to remember

So during sacrament meeting today, Evalie was wanting to drink her milk. Jeff noticed the sippy cup was leaking. I took a look at it and noticed Ah! the straw was not pulled through the hole all the way, therefore not making a seal. Oh course I thought I could fix this. So I gave Jeff Evalie and unscrewed the lid. I knew I needed to release the pressure in the straw so as not to get milk everywhere. So I began pulling at it to release the pressure then I would fix the rest of the straw. Now with this sippy cup there is a smaller straw that goes into a bigger straw that goes up through the lid. The smaller straw was the one I was pulling at. It was harder than I thought. I gave it a bit more effort and by so doing my fingers slipped down the straw, tipped the cup sending about 8 oz of milk over me and the floor. Right in the middle of the aisle between the columns of pues. The talks were just getting started, my mother in law was the first speaker. I was mortified. I ran to the bathroom where another sister was running with me to gather paper towels. As I am leaning down cleaning up the mess, mothers of little ones, start throwing me spit up rags. And a gentleman comes up behind me with a whole roll of paper towels and a garbage bag. My dress was soaked. Evalie is repeating over and over again "Uh! Oh!" and "Oh no!!!". I am not even a member of this ward, just a visitor. Visitors don't do stuff like that. I was sure I had ruined my mother in law's talk, but she said she didn't even notice. How could you not notice this? It felt like the room tipped to one side as everyone got up to see what had happened. I hid in the kitchen after sacrament meeting until Relief Society started. One of those days, I guess...

Oh I wouldn't worry. I am sure every mother has at least one horror story from sacrament even though I have to admit your's is pretty good!!

ok... I know this was probably a totally horrible experience for you.. but I couldn't stop laughing from the beginning, because i KNEW it was going to be spilt milk, don't cry over it right? Oh... good times and memories. I laughed even harder when you said that Evalie kept saying "Uh-Oh!" Because whenever anyone, and it seems to be most noticable in sacrament meeting, drops anything, he yells, "Uh-Oh!" and slaps his cheeks with his hands, like on Home Alone.

for me, I would think it would be better to be a visitor! I wish I could have seen it....

Once upon a time, a little girl missed her best friend Evalie. Every day she would cry and cry for pictures of Evalie. When all her parents could produce were old pictures of her pal, she would cry and cry more because she wanted to see current photos of her beloved friend.

Evalie's mommy felt bad about witholding photos from the little girl, and so she promised she would post some soon. This appeased the little girl, and for days she would wake up each morning and pull her mommy's computer out of its case and insist on pulling up the new pictures of Evalie. But each morning the little girl's disappointment grew and grew as, again, there were no photos of Evalie.

So the little girl used her magic powers (the magical powers that all little girls, especially red-headed ones, have) and put a curse on Evalie's mommy. She cursed Evalie's mommy that she would be forever showered in milk and other prone-to-sour substances. The only way the curse could be lifted was if the mommy finally posted pictures of Evalie.

The end.

By the way, we miss you. Milk stained or otherwise. Happy birthday to Evalie tomorrow!
