When something breaks, it’s rarely ever seen as a good thing. I’d say about 99% of the time, we’re disappointed or sad.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find comedy or wonder in the moment. Cool things happen, even in breaking, like what happened with these everyday things that broke in the most interesting way possible.
