ItWasMe, that story made me laugh!!
Seems a quick, "Hey, my fault, I'm sorry," makes things run much smoother in just about any situation.
Didn't see this reality so clearly until this semester. One of the guys on the study abroad, every time something goes wrong, he stands up and details how he might be responsible. He always manages to make some of the most frustrating moments into something to laugh about.
"Arg. No more spoons. I really wanted a spoon for my soup. I'm so hungry!"
"Sorry, man, I was sitting by the dock eating my cereal the other morning and I think I may have left one out there. Dude, I'm so sorry. Don't know where it could be."
Then another of our guys stands up and confesses something completely bogus, "Oh, wow! You needed those? I built a fort out of them yesterday in the sand a mile down the road. It was low tide then. I'm sure they're gone now."
Turns into a laughing riot of increasingly extreme confessions of imagined sins. Good fun.
