Tonight, I taught James how to use a cloth to polish smudges and smears off glassware, so that glassware is shiny and clear, As God Intended.

Therefore, my wineglass is all sparkly and shiny and free of smears tonight.

I thought you'd all want to know.

This is why I go to the Thrift store and buy up cheapity cheap cheap but lovely vintage glasses. They may have been someone else's heirloom, but when the boys break one, they are the glasses for which I paid 50 cents apiece.

Every time they break a plate or bowl, I remind myself that the dishes were free and that one should use one's nice things, not keep them in a box somewhere...

I like your idea. I should do that for my glassware. The supply of which is constantly decreasing. I have concluded that this is why people receive tons of drinking glasses as wedding gifts: so the eventual kids can break them.

I have to say that I have a set of dishes that I cannot use. I don't think it's fair to inflict the level of anxiety I have when they are used on anyone. They've been in the family almost a hundred years and just have far too much meaning to me.

Oh, that's very different!
