"When that thing finally hits the floor, I don't want to be the last person who touched it." What is it for you?

A fragile treasure, an heirloom, somebody’s favorite dish or vase or ornament: whatever it is, you don’t want to be the one to break it.

In our house, it’s a large glass Pyrex mixing bowl that my husband has had since long before he knew me. It’s a bit heavy and very slippery when wet and soapy, and they don’t make ‘em like that any more. Every time I use it, I worry that I’m going to be the one to drop it. Terminally.

Is there something like that in your life?

Or are you philosophical enough to say “The cup is already broken” and not worry about it?
