Slapstick Moment

I just had a slapstick moment. I was making a mug of tea for my son. He likes his tea seriously strong, so when I think the brew might be strong enough, I add the sugar and milk and then check out the colour before removing the teabag from his mug. Just as I was doing this, the doorbell rang and I jumped out of my skin. The teabag, which was perched on a teaspoon about six inches above the full mug of tea, did a swan dive back into the mug and about a third of the contents splashed out and messed up everything within splashing distance. Kettle, counter, storage jars, my coffee mug, the cupboard beneath the counter, the floor, and of course little old me!
