After an evening of indulging in too much whiskey, Bob embarked on the unsteady trek home. The streets wavered beneath him, but his goal was clear: sneak in without waking his wife, Kathleen. His plan? Tiptoe up the stairs and slip into bed unnoticed. Reality, however, had other ideas.
Bob fumbled through the door and up the staircase, but his balance betrayed him halfway. With a crash, he tumbled back, landing on the floor with a groan. To add insult to injury, two miniature whiskey bottles in his pockets shattered, leaving him sticky, sore, and covered in tiny glass cuts.
Determined not to wake Kathleen, Bob crawled to the hallway mirror. Squinting at his reflection, he grabbed a box of Band-Aids. Unfortunately, his drunken aim was abysmal, resulting in Band-Aids stuck haphazardly across the mirror instead of his wounds.
The next morning, Kathleen stood over him, amused. “Broken glass, blood trails, and a decorated mirror? Rough night, Bob?” She teased, laughing at his sheepish expression.
Though embarrassed, Bob joined in the laughter. The chaos became a favorite story, a reminder that even missteps—both literal and figurative—are best met with humor and a smile.
