deliberately smashing plates and glasses that were stored in a cabinet. Old everyday set of dishes and glasses. AND they were barefoot.

I told them to stand still so they wouldn't cut their feet. I then had to lift both of them out of the circle of broken pottery and glass over to the steps.

Thank goodness there won't be any grandkids. I doubt I could survive.
