Me! Me! *raises hand*

I will confess...........that I broke one of my mom's pyrex bowls 2 weeks ago. I thought they were unbreakable............they have fallen on the hard floor so many times and never broke. But I was wrong. One day, just one day, they'll hit so hard that they'll shatter in a million pieces.

Just two weeks ago, my mom went out shopping.........dad was at work, brother was..........I don't remember..........in his room? Or maybe he wasn't home either. All I remember, is that I was alone, in the kitchen, emptying the dish washer. I was angry about something...........I can't remember what......but I was upset, about something totally silly (was a hormonal day......hate when that happens). Anyway, because I was upset, I was *cough cough* emptying the dishwasher rather roughly. I wanted to get it over with fast, so I could finish, sweep the kitchen, and leave the *chores room*. Hehehe. Maybe I was a little too rough........I'm not usually rough, I'm usually slow and take my time, but that day it was meant to be. It was the pyrex's last day on this planet. Poor thing. I picked up 4 pyrex bowls at a time and took them to the cabinet........dropping one on the way accidently, and dropping it hard. I tried to grab it, but missed. It fell, shattered all over the kitchen, and I looked at it in dismay, thinking *wow.........I actually broke a pyrex!* He he he. Rest in peace sweet pyrex. You were a material thing, and we have like 25 other ones or so, so you are not missed. Not at all.

I cleaned the kitchen carefully, making sure they were no left over glass splinters that could injure someone on the floor. I wanted to leave the kitchen fast, but ended up staying for another 1/2 an hour. That's what I got for being a bad girl. I learned my lesson. I won't be rough with dishes again.

When my mom came home, I told her. She just shook her head, and said nothing. She didn't care.

But my point in this story is, I KNOW HOW TO BREAK PYREX! If you need any help or assistance, just come to me. He he he he

Ps. How'd this thread change to pyrex? We have all clear ones....no blue.
