The girl for spilling her milk. Not so much because of the mess, but because this is a habit with her. The day turned out quieter than it might have overall though.
So I should probably explain the hiding thing and why it infuriates me. Picture it, San Miguel de Allende, MX. 2006. Day one, checking out the house (massive thing with maid quarters and an in-law unit). Time to shower, but the water is running cold. Ice cold. Girl decides that there's no way she is going to take a cold shower so she hides - in the back of the closet in the in-law unit!!! We search everywhere, all the rooms upstairs, downstairs, maid quarters, garden, garage, inside the jacuzzi, in the trees, etc. All the while screaming her name. Finally I decide she must have left the property (which was entirely fenced in with stone). I unlatch the gate and start running up the hill yelling for her. Finally, my sister calls out that she has found her. It's one of those moments of total terror that turns into an odd combo of relief and extreme anger. And I thought she'd learned her lesson (what with the ear ringing she got from me and both my sisters, but apparently, no.

Girl hid from me in the dark - OUTSIDE. I hate that. Then she got in my way before I could stop being pissed.
