Do you tell him that you broke it?


You're at a retirement home waiting for someone when you meet a blind guy.

You make small talk before accidentally knocking a pot off a table like a fool. Causing pieces to fall off.

"Oh your Pot! I.." you try to say when The blind guy interrupts excitedly

"Ohhohoho! You noticed my pot! Yes it means the world to me. " he clearly didn't notice that you broke it and tells you that the pot has a mold of his dead wife's face on it and that he feels it to remember her sometimes. It's his most important possession. You then realize that you literally broke his dead wife's face.

You then notice the pieces slot back together nicely and with a pinch of glue that happened to be there, you've repaired it while he was talking.

While visually the cracks are obvious, it's impossible to tell from the feel of calloused hands that anything is amiss.

You could leave and he would not be the wiser that anything happened...

Or you could tell him and risk crushing his heart.



How do you react?
Do you tell him?

No point to telling him. There is no gain, only loss.

He was deaf for the instant the pot broke?

Neh. Breaking it was an accident. But ruining his piece of mind is in my control. I personally would prefer someone let's me live on not knowing. I'd think about it every fewmonths and wonder if I did the right thing, but then Id get distracted by an argument on CE.

I buy a new pot, put a mask over it and tell him his wife has a lovely face.

Why was the glue there? I think the pot was already broken and I just undid the old glue when I knocked it over.

I tell hiim that it appears to be broken and some well-meaning accidental-prone individual probably knocked it over prior and he might want to get it fixed because it looks pretty cracked

You don't always carry around glue to glue together stuff you knock over? I dunno how you made it this far in life.

That's exactly what happens in this Frasier episode btw. He fixes it with some dental adhesive, but he feels so guilty that he tells the guy about it. The guy says that the dental adhesive usually works pretty well and that he's broken it about a dozen times.

"In the time you spent running your mouth, I knocked the stupid pot over, broke some pieces off and glued them back on."

*takes hammer to pot*

"Oops, I'm sorry man. I deliberately broke it again, irreparably this time. Later nerd."

My maid will hear about this.
