Implicated and Exonerated

We live in a very small space. Everything we have travels with us and everything has its place. There have been a few ‘accidents’ in which I was implicated.

One such accident involved a shampoo bottle spill in Mike’s kit-bag. When we discovered the spill, Mike kindly asked me to be more careful when packing the bag away into its hidey hole.

The implication being that when I stuffed it in, I had inadvertently snapped the lid open thus causing the spill. The accusation stung but I vowed to be more careful.

A couple of days later we traveled high up into the Andes and I came up with a different hypothesis. Perhaps the bottle popped open on one of the mighty climbs to higher altitude. Mike had to admit it might be possible.

And then a few days later we made yet another epic climb and that night we found the shampoo bottle had leaked again.

Exonerated.
