My sister has been traveling around the world for a long time. Sometimes it's business trips, but more often I skated just like that: show myself, but see the world. And that some memory remained about the overseas powers, the sister from the trip each time brought for herself several bottles of elite collection alcohol and a plate.
Plates went straight to a special kitchen shelf, and alcohol to the locker. For 9 years, a decent collection of not only porcelain dishes, but a variety of buns.
And my sister has two daughters (21 years and 17 years). In any case, it was before this New Year.
It so happened that the daughters remained alone on New Year's Eve. As I understand at home they did not want to celebrate together. First, my mother went to visit, then the eldest daughter, and after ... Well, the younger decided not to go anywhere and invited a company of the same teenagers to her. Mother was not aware of, otherwise it would not have allowed them to make a mess in the apartment, but it happened the way it happened. The teenage girl quickly jumped up and went to bed, and the guests invited some other friends of theirs, and at the most crucial moment in the middle of the holiday, alcohol ended. Woe-comrade first devastated all the stores of alcohol in the refrigerator, and then they found the coveted locker with elite alcohol of Mexican, French, Georgian and other manufacture.
A company of 9 people managed to devastate about 19 liters of strong alcohol and beverages not so strong: port wine, wine.
But as it turned out, the niece (who was already friends) had little to drink and they managed to smash absolutely all the gift plates brought from abroad. For what they broke these oligophrenic plates, and remained a mystery, but the fact remains.
And yet ... Do not leave your children unattended, even if they seem adult and adequate. Things happen. And do not do collecting, for this is the direct path to a heart attack. Sister had to call an ambulance after her return home.
