Brewtus Interruptus (n)
When one is interrupted by an unavoidable distraction seconds after hitting the brew switch.
--------------------------------------
It happens to all of us. We're making a coffee when disaster strikes, usually when the elusive godshot is apparently in progress.
This morning, it was my turn.
Seconds after hitting the switch I notice my boy waddling towards me with a suspicious bulge in his undies.
"5-one-thousand, 6-one-thousand, 7-one-thousand..."
Looks like a care package from below has landed... And is about to be distributed liberally around the house.
"9-one-thousand,10-one-thousand, 11-one-thousand..."
Still on the tiles. No spills yet...
"13-one-thousand, 14-one-thousand, 15-one-thousand..."
Oh oh - turning in the direction of his carpeted room with bedding, toys and lots of ground-based, bond-destroying potential.
17-one.... Nope, 'ristretto' time!
My wife wasn't so lucky - no time for milk, she had to wait about 15 minutes before I could start again.
When have you found yourself in brewtus Interruptus?
