The cover for the inside part of the doorbell mechanism had fallen off and I couldn't get it to stay in place so I decided to super-glue it back. I lined the outside of the cover with the superglue and put it carefully back in place. Of course, since superglue dries so quickly, I didn't have a place to put the tube of glue down so I was holding it in one hand and holding the cover tight to the door in the other hand.

Then the top to the superglue slipped. It landed in my bra. I couldn't just leave it there til the glue was set on the doorbell piece so I carefully placed my mouth on the doorbell cover to hold it in place.

Now, I don't know about y'all but I don't use superglue on a daily basis so I tend to either over or under apply it to whatever I'm trying to glue back together. In the case of the doorbell cover I over applied the glue.

Yes, there were a couple of super glue runners and I just happened to clamp down with my lips on top of them. Of course, they smeared abit from the lip pressure and poof! I was glued to the doorbell cover which by now was firmly glued to the door.

Being a short person I was standing on tiptoe with my mouth glued to cover. My sister and my (then) husband were sitting on the couch watching me fix the cover and once they realized I was stuck they laughed their asses off at me. Finally though they did help by getting some nail polish remover (the kind with acetone in it) and pouring it over my lips.

I lost a bit of lip skin and still haven't lived that one down!
