"Yeah, I can fix it!" I exclaim, but for some reason, my magic fails and I make the glass smash into smaller pieces. Standing up, I kick it under a sofa and whistle. "It never happened."
I run around the house looking for a replaceable. Finally, I find a glass vase in the cellar. It's exactly like the other one, but slightly thinner. I bring it back to where the old one was and place it there. "There, no more vase throwing. Who's next?"
