Water and Phones...Not a Good Mix


I am not always the smartest person.  You can ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you just that.  But usually, the things that I'm stupid at are small, insignificant things, like getting sayings wrong (I've said "flipping over a new leaf" instead of "turning over a new leaf" before).  However, there are those other occurrences that happen to get in my way.  
There was last year for instance, when I accidentally spilled Yoo-Hoo all over the front of my laptop.  Nothing was broken permanently, but I had to go quite a while without any Rs in my words.  You have no idea how hard it is to have a conversation without that letter.
Today, I washed my laundry.  I was so happy because I finally did it before it was way too late, but, when I approached the machine, I saw something I really wished I hadn't.  I had thrown my sweatshirt in at the last minute without a care in the world.  But, my phone, unbeknownst to me, was in the pocket.
It was one of those moments that I had to slap myself on the head, mostly because if i had just felt through my pocket, it wouldn't have happened.  So now, I get to wait through the night, hoping that my phone will dry itself out.  Which it should, because it still turns on.  And lets me text.  It just won't let me call anyone.
