Send help, deep in the dog house!
I reached for the lid of the cookie jar. A porcelain lid. I dropped it on the porcelain sink. The lid broke in two, and the sink ended up with a big chip in it. My wife was standing on the other side of the kitchen and saw the whole thing. I never knew it was her favorite cookie jar lid and never thought to think a sink with a chip in it was any sort of problem.
Please help, I'll be deep in the dog house for a long, long while.
This is gonna cost me.

being married 20 years my advise would be, go to lowes pick out a new sink and since were doing that, a new faucet as well. timidly say i bet theres cool cookie jars at the consingment store around. then give her a blank check or card then pray you dont need a second mortgage or a lawyer

Oh no, things just got worse. While I was in the garage, gluing the lid back together, she cut her finger on a piece of porcelain I didn't see in the sink when I cleaned it up.
I don't think I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight.

What do you mean "when?" Go back and read my first post, something really bad has already happened. |

If my wife got that upset at me over a simple mistake I would not stay married for long.

You could try calling a bathtub reglazer to see if you can get the chip on the sink repaired. As for the cookie jar lid, you are on your own.

I did almost the exact same thing recently. I too was a little put back by her reaction. Actually I couldn't believe she got that pissed. Which kind of got me pissed. But what the hell, it was a frigging accident and she got over it.... Had no choice really...
