Damn! I smashed a plate. Quite accidentally, and completely out of character… Normally I’m precise. If things fall…I catch them. But that soup plate..which I’ve had for at least twenty years..(Not that it matters) but…well..it’s the first time I personally broke one of them. It just slipped out of my hands in an instant, and suddenly it was no longer a solid round recognisable object, and was reduced to broken shards.
It’s always such a shock, followed by a sense of disappointment. Ain’t it so…Ain’t it so…
And then..to top it all..Just as I was clearing up the pieces…I felt a nasty sharp stab in my left hand index finger! Yes folks!..the broken plate drew blood and it really hurt. OUCH! I feel sorry for myself just thinking about it!
Damn! I smashed a plate.
