Today Liam was helping with breakfast before I got down stairs (you already know where this is going, don't you?) He had crawled up on the counter and was getting down two plastic bowls for cereal, he even asked if I was having cereal also. As I came downstairs, Lance said he wanted instant oatmeal. I said that is fine, but we have to use glass bowls. Liam went right back up on the counter and put the plastic bowls back in the cupboard. He was looking for the "glass" bowls because he could not find any clear bowls. (Don't you know all glass has to be see through?) Anyway I told him which bowls they were and started explaining what glass is...that it doesn't have to be clear to be glass.
THEN IT HAPPENED...he dropped one of the bowls and it broke all over the floor. It made my explanation easier...that's glass, it breaks easily. I think we now know what glass is in our house.
Disclaimer: No good dishes were broken or destroyed in this demonstration of glass. The bowl in question was 12 years old and will now go to a good home at the garbage dump.
