I was at a ' game night ' at a friends house . I was pouring drinks , got distracted and ended up leaving a small spill on the counter ( maybe the size of your hand ) . The hostess went into the kitchen a little while after , found it , and then told everybody who was over ( quite loudly ) how I always leave messes in her house , that I ' m " like a tornado " going through the house , etc . It 's my thought that if you throw an event , you should expect reasonably small messes here and there , and that it 's part of the burden of being hostess .

Question: What may have been the reason I left a spill on the counter ?
Answer: I did n't realize I had made a mess before I left to serve the cocktails .I figured it was just a small mess so I left it there .I wanted to be a tornado going through her house .I was tired of having the burden of being the hostess .
