I just took a shower with my bag on since I changed it this morning. I always use a tiny binder clip at the Velcro closure for added protection. I took the clip off so that I could unravel the bottom and dry it off. In the meantime, my phone rang. As I went to answer it, I let go of the bottom of my bag - I must have forgotten that it wasn't closed while multitasking - and heard (and felt) a splash. I got back into the shower, cleaned off, then proceeded to mop up my bathroom. I don't have to tell you it hit everything. I know each of you has experienced something similar, maybe not of that magnitude, maybe more intense. I knew you'd all understand. Ya gotta laugh!
