I was rinsing dishes after dinner and broke MY COFFEE cup I have had for several years (continued)

I had a spare in reserve. I will wait for the next sale and get two of them.

Updated info>> So I was babysitting today because schools were closed for the extreme cold. I went to turn on the garbage disposer after lunch. Apparently a few small pieces fell of my cup fell into the disposer. My granddaughter thought SHE did something wrong. After 10-15 seconds I let her off the hook.

My hands are to big to reach in and get the pieces. I wouldn't let her do it, even though she has done it for her dad. Marta fished the pieces out after she got home from work.

We spent the next few decades trying to look cheerful while drinking from misshapen mugs because he was so visibly proud of them we couldn't bring ourselves to point out that they wouldn't even sit flat because the bottom was so warped so we had to hold them the whole time.
