Vase Breaking

One day Jeremy was playing ball in the house, which was strictly against the rules, and he accidentally broke a vase in the living room. "Oh, no, my mom's gonna kill me!" he thought desperately. So he frantically tried to fix it, any way he could. But tape, glue, even Superglue wouldn't hold all the shards together. So he finally left the pieces in a pile on the table and went to hide in his room.

Soon his mother came home and he heard her calling him. "Jeremy, do you know who broke my vase? It's in here all in pieces!"

Jeremy tried to drum up his courage, but at the last minute, he found himself answering, "No, Mom, I don't know."

He cringed waiting for her answer.

"That's funny," she said, appearing at his door. "I wanted to thank whoever it was. I've hated that thing for years."
