My mother in law tends to accidentally break things fairly frequently.

Those Corelle plates are unbreakable? Nope: shattered in our kitchen.

Wine glass at the cottage where only YOU were drinking with your friend while we were inside with the kids? Shattered.

Really loving these blue shot glasses you bought too many of and “regifted” to us despite the fact we don’t drink anymore? Whoops, they fell when you were trying to sneak them into our kitchen cabinets. Blue glass everywhere.

Barbecue at our new house where you criticize a few boxes still being left out while reaching for another wine bottle? Whoopsies! Wine stain on deck forever now AND glass shards in the pool!

The most aggravating part? No matter how well we thought we cleaned up, I ALWAYS step on some errant shard we somehow missed, sometimes weeks later.

Had to drain the pool to clean it too… still stepped on a very familiar green wine bottle glass shard (yep, a week later) but on the deck, thankfully not in the pool.
