Well, chalk that one up!

What was a seemingly cool, refreshing, and delicious drink actually turned out to be my mortal enemy. Little did I know that ordering a blueberry pomegranate lemonade at Outback (a very sweet gift, thanks!) would prove to be the absolutely worst decision of my day...week...entire month!

I ordered my special drink, Eric ordered water.
"A Sprite?" our waitress repeated.
"A water," Eric said.
"Oh, sorry! I must have bad hearing."
Out came the drinks. Mine tasted nothing like blueberry or pomegranate or any form of the combination of the two. No worries. It was pretty good and I'm not one to make a scene...well not normally.

I went for my heavy glass keg of a cup and what do you think happened!? THE ENTIRE CONTAINS OF THE GLASS (we're talking full glass here) flooded my entire body, the bench, and the floor. I was drenched. I was drenched in blueberry pomegranate lemonade.

Being the spill experts that they are, the serving staff had stacks of napkins soaking up the contents of my glass within 15 seconds. My pride was crushed in 1. I dabbed the best I could at my light blue sweater and grey dress pants. I wiped the bench down (knowing it was far too late to save my wet butt from embarrassing wet marks) and plastered a smile on my face.
"Would you like to visit the restroom?" the floor manager asked.
"No, I'm fine, thank you."
"Are you sure?"
Yes, I'm sure. I'm not going to make a further spectacle of myself by walking in front of a restaurant full of people with drenched pants. Drop it.
"I'll bring you another lemonade."

*sigh*

We had already ordered our food, so leaving right then and there wasn't really an option for E. Our waitress returned.
"I just heard about what happened. I'm so sorry! Is there anything I can get you?"
"No, I'm fine, thank you."
"I spilled a coke down my front the other day!"
"I'm sorry to hear that. And I'm sorry to have made all this sticky."
"Oh, don't worry! You're not stinky! And besides, that drink is made from good smelling stuff, so it smells nice now."

WHAT!?

It took a lot of self control to not laugh out loud.

Which was all it took. A waitress who didn't know what the heck was going on saved the day with her crazy responses. She defused a very embarrassing situation, not realizing how entertaining her "bad hearing" really was.
