"Mom, I need to tell you something...." That is how the conversation started a couple of weeks ago. And then my teenage son pulled out this cup from behind his back. "I broke your favorite dish." I was in the middle of making dinner, the house was chaotic but I knew that my teenager needed me. So, I quickly turned off the stove and sat down with him at the stools by the kitchen island.
