"Be careful; you'll wet yourself"

I've never had such a strange mix of emotions before in my life.

This weekend, I drove to Houston to help my brother, sis-in-law, and nephew move to their new house. On the last trip, we were grabbing pretty much anything that wasn't nailed down. While walking on the front door on the final walk-through, we noticed that their little garden/atrium between the garage and house still had stuff in it. One of which was a bird bath that they had turned into a planter. I grabbed the disk of the bird bath and carried it out to my truck while someone else took care of the base. As I tilted it up to set the heavy saucer on my tailgate, water emerged from the plant and soaked pretty much the entire front of my pants. I felt like such an idiot, and the other guys got a few jokes in on my expense. But that's not the funny part.

When the time came to unload my truck, my brother's wife's sister's boyfriend (did you get all of that?) grabbed the bowl of the bird bath/planter and I said "Be careful; you'll wet yourself" not wanting the same fate to befall on him that had just struck me earlier in the evening. He didn't think much of my warning, thinking that I meant that the rim was wet and it might dampen his pants. As he tilted the disk up to set it on the base that was already in place, a rush of water flowed from the plant and wreaked its wrath on him as well. I've never had such a strange mix of emotions before in my life. I wanted SOOOO badly to point at him and shout "HA!!!". I also fought the urge to remind him in a sing-song way "I told you so, I told you so". Instead, we all just laughed. So now, we had two grown men at my brother's new house that looked like they had wet themselves.
