When I was 6, my mother brought me to Neiman Marcus with her. She was purchasing something at the register when I spotted a display case next to us. This display case had all these pretty snow globes on it. I thought it was one of those display cases that would spin around so I sat there trying to get the display to turn. My mother was busy purchasing something and didn't think that her klutzy daughter, who was right at her side, was getting into any mischief. I started tugging at the display case to get to turn. All the sudden, the display case toppled over. Beautiful snow globes shattered everywhere. Glass, water, and "snow" went all over the floor. The look on my mother's face was a mix between sheer humiliation and "I want to kill my daughter". My mom said that the sales lady and the manager just stood there with their mouth dropped on the floor. The pretentious Neiman Marcus customers clucked their tongue at my mom. I think she honestly thought about selling me to another family to pay off the price of all the broken snow globes. To this day, my mother won't tell me how she had to pay to fix my "damage".
