About a fortnight ago, I was unloading the dishwasher when a
dinner plate slipped out of my fingers to the floor. It was a Corelle plate. I thought
those were practically unbreakable. This dish didn’t just break, it
self-destructed. It was as if a small bomb had gone off in the kitchen. There
was shattered glass in the dishwasher, under the appliances, in the pantry, and
on every inch of the floor around my bare feet. There were even shards on top
of my feet and in the cuffs of my jeans. Luckily John was home and could rescue
me with a broom and a pair of shoes. After the mess was cleaned up, I did a bit
of research. My dishes came with a 3-year warranty (I bought them eleven years
ago) and even during those first three years, the warranty didn’t cover misuse,
negligence, or accidental breakage. What does that leave? Deliberate breakage?
