You know, it may have been an accident but he still broke it. I think at least he should pay part of that. Sometimes you're too nice, maybe. With all those little brothers you ought to have more cutthroat instincts... eh, it just means you're a better person than I am.
What a pain.
Dad sent me on a guilt trip for even thinking about asking for restitution. I ain't gonna go there.
Just hope he learns from it.
In a way, it's also Margaret's fault - she was the one who borrowed it in the first place, and then was too lazy to put it away, so she gave it to Bill to hang onto. And maybe I should have known better than to lend it out in the first place.
