So I'm going to tell one on ME today.
I answered a phone call from Mike tonight and walked back to the kitchen to sit down to my lovely Campbell's Tomato Soup (to which I added some cooked red peppers that I threw in the blender) with a dollop of sour cream (fat free of course) and a sprinkle of shredded cheese... I supported the phone between my ear and my shoulder and grasped the chair with two hands to scoot my big body in under the table so I could enjoy Mike's work story that he was rambling, I mean telling me, about. And what would you know, the phone, my prized cell phone (I've only owned three my entire life and the last two were the exact same make/model) slipped delicately out from my shoulder grasp and landed PLOP right into my soup bowl, and not just in the soup, directly onto the sour cream dollop.
Elise sitting at the table doing her homework bust up into laughter and I followed suit. What do you do when your husband is rambling on to a bowl of soup? I suppose laughter is the best medicine in this situation. I delicately fished it out (where was my camera?? oh yeah, in the other room it would have made a fantastic photo. I'll stage it if my phone dies a tomatoey death.) and turned off the phone call. I texted Mike "Sorry, I dropped my phone in my soup call back tomorrow. Looks like I can still text though drive safely". Then tried to call my mother, I could dial, but I can't hear anything and obviously I can't speak through sour cream.
Amazingly enough, Mike isn't upset with me about it.
So here goes, have YOU ever dropped your cell phone (mid-conversation) into anything peculiar?
I dropped my last one in the dog's water, it survived like a champ. I was talking to Mike then too... should I stop talking to him??
Be careful out there.
P.S. ~ The Cell Phone Lives!!! Another testament to electronic devices. Wow!

In the Air Force the people would place their fatigue hats in the back of their pants and the bill would hold it in place when they were going to be inside a building. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where that hat ended up more than once. Have fun. dc
PS Keep talking to Mike but do it with your feet up drinking a coke and just enjoying life.
You absolutely make me laugh! And do I ever need a laugh after this week! Thanks for your silly-ness and sharing your story! I hope you are feeling well!
O.K like how did I miss this one?? I am over on facebook telling you to have cold cereal for dinner after this incident??? No way honey, you have got to stick w/ solid food. No liquids for you and no mixing electronics and liquids. Chad is the king of dropping his cell phone.
What an interesting side dish to add to your soup! I wonder how it tastes...my guess would be a little metallic-ey.
That is a funny story! I always drop my phone when I have it cradled between my ear and shoulder, and it's usually on the floor or the cement outside. I think it's the cell phone companies fault, they make phones too thin nowadays!
Let's play soon!
Only on the bathroom floor... scarily close to the toilet... more than once! Thanks for the comment on my blog today. Just wanted to let you know I was watching today and waiting, I must confess, for some kind of drama that I was sure was going to happen (like an assassination attempt or something of the like!). Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed. Not that I want the man dead, just have this sneaking suspicion that his presidency term is bound to be eventful!
I dropped my phone in the toilet once. YUCK, never in tomato soup though. BTW, I think I may have to try your little concoction!
