Nmom always said I was destructively clumsy, because sometimes, I break things by accident. Seems a pretty normal accusation, right?
But I started noticing something about our home. A lot of fragile things that could be broken easily are way too often place in hazardous places.
Like that one time, I had complained about having to clean the bathroom. Next day, I clean it again. Picking up the pair of pants Nmom left for the first time ever on the counter instead of the ground, I was happy because she had somewhat made an effort. That happiness got shattered at the same tine a ugly frog ceramic decoration of the bathroom falls down and breaks. The thing was INSIDE the pants, in a fold of the cloth! Who puts ugly frog decorations inside their discarded pair of pants?!
So then I get yelled at because I broke something yet again! Nmom NEVER breaks anything because she is perfect and I am a hindrance to her life!
Another time, I opened the refrigerator and suddenly, a chandelier fell off the top and broke. Why was it on the edge? I didn't put it on the edge, hell, it was supposed to be on the table!
So many other examples, like food in the pantry falling down because someone decided to make precarious towers inside. Decorations falling and me being accused because I am "the clumsy one and I don't take care of things". The number of times I was punished because someone else broke something too. Nmom never believes me when I say it's not me, even if the thing breaking is out of reach for younger me...
So yeah. Does anyone else get accused of being clumsy when actually, their home is full of traps like that?
