The not-so unbreakable drinking glasses
Oliver and I were married on Bell Island N.L, Sept. 14, 1950 and looked forward to our first Christmas together. One of our many gifts were eight beautiful unbreakable drinking glasses. During one of our Christmas parties, everyone had fun throwing these at the walls and on the floor. They really were unbreakable. the following morning we overslept and Oliver didn’t have time to light our living room “wood and coal†stove, before leaving for the office. So I closed the two doors leading to the room. later that morning my sister-in-law Eveline came for a visit. she wanted to see our Christmas tree and gifts. I explained how cold the living room was with no hear, but she insisted on going in anyway. Soon after I showed Eveline our gifts, I threw one of our unbreakable drinking glasses at the wall. It shattered as it hit. Wveline looked at me and said “Are you cracking up Murielâ€Â� I was laughing so hard I couldn’t explain what had happened. Apparently the drinking glasses shattered because it was so cold. From that day on, I thought that Eveline looked at me as not being quite normal. Muriel White Submitted By: NULL
