So my aunt is super into these ceramic plates like, she has a few sets and treats them like they’re super fragile(she calls them her babies). She’s always warning everyone to stay away from them. So here’s the thing she has this cabinets that are not exactly strong anymore and in it are her precious plates. They literally look like like they’re about to fall

I noticed it and thought I was helping her when I shifted the plates and put them in the other cabinets that looked stronger but when she found out, she got really upset and she said I warned you to stop messing with my plates I like them where they are. And I pointed out why I transferred the plates she said she didn’t care I should take them back.

So I put them right back where I found them and then days later, the cabinet fell and so did all her precious (babies) plates. Well guess who was not wrong?
