A devastating moment for sure...
When I was younger, I accompanied my father as he ran into the grocery store to get a jar of raisin sauce. I wanted to help, so I asked if I could carry it to the register. My Dad handed me the jar, but I didn't know how heavy it would be! I struggled as we walked down the aisle...until the jar slipped completely out of my hands and burst on the store floor.
Despite the assurances from both my father and the store clerk, I was mortified! Not just because I broke store merchandise before we even paid for it, but because I felt like I let my Dad down. 😢
