An embarrassing incident

They were taking their dog for a walk . When we met , we stopped for a chat . While we were taking , the dog suddenly jumped up and tried to get my ice cream . I pulled my hand away and unfortunately the ice cream came out of the cone . Now there was a bald man behind me . The poor man wasn't doing anything harm . He was just sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper . Well , when I pulled my hand away , the ice cream flew through the air and landed on the man's head . I didn't whether to laugh or to cry , but Carol and Jim did . When I looked at them , they weren't just laughing , they were in hysterics . But I was terribly embarrassed !
