oops.
I love this word. I love the way it can cover just about everything, with a slightly sweet, disarming twist that makes whatever happened seem not quite so - well, so SO.
oops?!
(raised eyebrows, slight upturn of the mouth)
oops, uh, oops?
(shrug shoulders and hunch down all at once)
oops!
(giggle nervously, and hope the others join in)
Children are the undisputed masters of oops, but I confess to employing it many times a day. That letter you thought got mailed 3 weeks ago?
oops...
the accidental defrosting of the fridge?
oops?!
the face of Mother Teresa lovingly and faithfully drawn in strawberry yogurt on the back of your freshly ironed shirt (well, you should have put it away in the closet where it belongs!!)
ooo ooooo oooooops.
hmmm.
the fact that I've been too busy to blog in over 6 months?
yup -
oops.
