Dammit, it's not fair. I've never been that lucky. If I drop something, it breaks. Remember those five gallon Sparkletts bottles made of glass? I do. I was 8 years old and so proud I could change out the bottles on the dispenser. Grandma was letting me and I'd done it enough I was having confidence. So I take off the empty and know that part is easy as it weighs much less. I goofed and dropped it. It bounces off the wood floor and I have a moment of great relief as I realize it won't break on the wood floor but when it comes down a second time it shatters. Grandma wasn't even mad at me.
