So, I dropped this in the beginning of August (I no longer have full control of my hands so I seem to be dropping things a whole lot) and it chipped. I kind of laughed and told my Mom that it has taken 20 years for this to chip! And let me ‘splain ya:
We moved out of my Parents’ house on August 1, 2005. By the time I got the keys to our apartment, I had already ordered furniture that was coming a couple days later.
Sean and I went to Target to outfit my kitchen. I felt quite grown-up buying a large box that had tons of different sized Pyrex containers. All of the adults I knew, had Pyrex containers and I had never been responsible for running the household before. I figured that this was a good start.
We went to the grocery store as well and at that time, it was still novel and fun. I think it was a few days after all of this when my Mom came over to continue helping me unpack or something. She saw all of my Pyrex containers, and I told her that I got it at Target and it was $40!
I was expecting her to applaud my grown-up purchase or something. My Mom just looked at all of the stuff (most of it still in the box) and just said, “I’ll have it.”
I think Sean was running around the living area, watching TV, or something and I just remember telling him, “Looks like we’re going back to Target tomorrow Sean.” I laughed with my Mom because it has been NOT chipped these past 20 years and my Mom took a picture to show the chip. That’s the microwave I bought a couple days before it and it still works!
She left our apartment with that box of Pyrex containers. I broke mine a few years ago and she brought that ramekin back for me and now it’s chipped. I still use it though!
