It was so hard to see Patrick fall down the stairs himself because he broke a glass. I know too well the fear of making a small mistake at home, choosing to expand the damage, and covering up the original small mistake at the cost of breaking my head.
At the junior high school graduation party, my good buddies told me, "It's good to grow up. When you grow up, you will no longer need to hide the broken cups secretly." I also think it's good to grow up. I hope he is also really no longer afraid of breaking the cup.
It might be difficult for me to do it myself. Even if I have become financially independent and live alone, so what? The moment I broke a bowl in front of the cupboard, for a few seconds I became the helpless child I used to be.
