Bonita knocked her ceramic water and food bowls off the buffet where I put them to keep them away from Charlie; they smashed. I put them on Charlie's tab. After the Waterford Crystal Incident, all of our china and crystal sat on our kitchen table for a week and a half. I couldn't decide what to do. I ordered cabinet locks, but in the meantime, I put a boombox in front of the cabinet to see if barricading it would help. Charlie still opened the door, only this time he opened it into the boom box and put a gouge in the solid cherry.
The cabinet locks arrived, and I was planning to put them on today, but when Charlie and I got home from his Early Intervention playgroup, I found that Mary had crammed all of the china and crystal into the top, glass-fronted part of the cabinet. The only things she couldn't fit up there were the super cool pottery bowls and mugs with goose heads for handles. I've put them in the kitchen with our other bowls and mugs so we can actually enjoy using them. That's about all I can come up with for a positive spin on the Charlie smashfest! Ice cream tastes better out of bowls with goose head handles.
