Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now, I don't think there is a worse place to
take a child than a crockery shop.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
A bullet and china shop child.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And it's so terrifying I break out of sweat anytime
I might have to go to will and Barrow with
one of the three. In fact, you probably had my
husband to that list as well, because you're just worried
they're going to smash something. The best story of the
last twenty four hours has to have come courtesy of
a little boy who went to a museum. He was
(00:30):
all of four years of age, and he was a
bit curious, and he ended up breaking a three and
a half thousand year old urn made it was a
bit bigger than that. He got better, better, better, and
it was so this thing predates King Solomon. And the
reason that it was so rare, as the museum curator said,
(00:55):
was that it was so intact. Yeah, it was because normally,
if you've the old gear, it's in bits and pieces already.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It is no longer. The boy wanted to have a
look about what was inside the jar.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
He was curious, what's inside this jar?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So he just pulls on the handle ever so slightly,
and this large I mean it's got to be like
fifty to one hundred centimes.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Bigger than a four year old.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, it just falls tumbles.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Now, the museum believes that there's a special charm in
showing archaeological finds without obstructions. Wonder if that policy will
be changing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'd be changing that.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
And also, this is the other thing I absolutely adore. Now,
what do you reckon has happened in that moment? Obviously
the data has died a million deaths. He's going to soun'd like, kid,
Oh my gosh, what am I going to do? All right?
But then the museum has invited the family back for
an organized tour a few days later, and they responded, no, no, no,
(01:50):
They responded, the jar was accidentally damaged by a young
child visiting the museum, and the response will be accordingly.
So they're being really lovely about it all. Can I
tell you the moment that that child got in the car,
that response would have been nuclear.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And if I was, if I was that person's dad,
I would not be letting them go back to him
because they're hanging him up. They're hanging, drawing and quartering him.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
There is always that moment where your kid does something
or breaks something, and you're looking at them and in
like the big part of your brain, you know, you're going, oh,
it's just a kid. It was an accident. These accidents happened. However,
in the gut wrenching, yelling part of your psyche, you
were going, I can't believe you.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
How the biggest deal, the biggest deal.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Mate. At one stage, we had three broken windows in
our back area, like our backyard, thanks to our middle
son football and two baseballs. Didn't learn after the first,
Oh my you reckon. That wasn't yelled at him or
the neighbors knew exactly what I thought of the third.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Not learning after the first is actually a bit of
a recurring thing for me. I went over to a
friend's place when I was younger and we were kicking
a footy inside and there were little hanging lights and
one of the footies went into a light and it's
just sort of pulled it a little bit out of
the plaster, just hanging a little bit out. There's four
By the end of the session there was three lights
hanging a little bit out of the plaster.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It's the target practicing.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, the dad came upstairs and was not thrilled. And
the son who I'd been kicking the football with could
not have pointed at me quicker, could not have done
it any quicker.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So thirty one O two three, what is your kid broken?
We've got one hundred dollars prepaid visa gift card up
for grabs. C you can maybe go and buy something
to replace the things the kid's broken.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, whether it's a three and a half thousand year
old jar, or maybe just something new in your house,
or maybe you an urn or some ashes.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We want your honest response of what you said to
the kid, that would be preferable. Yeah, Max and Alley
