BINGO!!! When PARENTS WERE PARENTS!
And that is why we can’t have nice things.
Dad and museum at fault.
A switch that I, myself, had to get off the tree. And if said switch was too flimsy, mom would use a 2x4. (Yes, hyperbole)
That’ll teach the museum for allowing the boy to juggle vases
Did you see the photo of the display, too? The jugs are set on tall iron display frames making easier to knock over. All that’s missing are the “Break Me” signs.
It predates the time of the Biblical King David and King Solomon....Based on their own estimates, it could predate those kings by more than 1000 years.
If they're presuming the public reader is too ignorant to be able to understand some other reference, why presume they can even place Solomon and David?
Averaging the estimate dates given for the vase (1800BC) places it about the time of the birth of Abraham.
Let's face it. It had survived quite a long time (about 4000 years) before the incompetent curator exposed it to danger.
Same here, mid-’60s, the belt or a switch made from a willow branch.
Of course if the crime was serious anything ready to hand served, a shoe, a broom, etc.
LOL
