Wine on the light colored rug is pretty bad, too. I’ve been a frequent practitioner of that klutziness.

As now we are talking about it, I can recall a really weird incident… I had a b=very cute purple towel I used for wiping my face… it was like a feather’s touch thing. One day bi mistake I wiped my bleach covered fingers on it and guess what happened… it turned bright pink on the places the bleach touched it… LOL!!! 😀

I’ve been a bit of a klutz all my life, Heena, so I’m not likely to change now. My husband is just the opposite, so we get along just fine! It’s a very good word for more modern stories, but wouldn’t be useful to me in my Viking Tales. 🙂

And I agree… it quite a word to be used in contemporary fiction 🙂
