My mom had recently redone the kitchen in her house. My mom and her current husband don’t drink. They went to to evening mass I think which left my sister and I alone during the holidays and we wanted to have some wine. We couldn’t find a wine key, so in my infinite wisdom I decided to just push the cork into the bottle, I pushed to hard and the dark red wine splashed everywhere on the cabinets, the appliances, and floor. We cleaned things down quickly and thought we were in the clear, but then we saw the spray on the ceiling. We broke out the magic eraser though this took off some of the off white paint.

We never told her until this past Christmas. Her quote “I always wondered how those spots showed up out of nowhere.”

When we were young, home alone of course. We did similar my brother and I thought it was funny to shake up the Martinellis and pop the little top it had with the tab. Well I bet him he wouldn’t shake it the “longest” well boy was I wrong he barely touched that little tab. Next thing you know Sparkling cider has left the bottle as a rocket ship headed straight for the white ceiling now this was a vaulted ceiling 12ft high at this point of the arch. When it hit the ceiling it spread out and came down all inside the chandelier all over the dining room all over the walls and this piece of art. We were in a scramble to clean everything before our parents could return. We cleaned it all up i disassembled the globes from the chandelier cleaned them in the sink, wiped the wall but we couldn’t quite reach the ceiling. They walked in 5 minutes after the big cleanup,They didn’t notice! It wasn’t until about 10 years later they were painting the house that they noticed and we were like have we got a story for you.
