Dumb Things

I seem to be prone to do dumb things. If a mishap occurs, and there is a chance that nothing or no one would be hurt by it, I completely miss that chance. It seems that my mishaps either break stuff, hurt somebody, or just mess stuff up.

Today my lovely wife called for help. She needed me to either hold the strainer, or pour the cooked noodles through the strainer so the water would go down the sink. I chose to pour.

I dumped away, and a significant quantity of recently boiling water cascaded down onto her tummy.

I feel terrible.
