Little Pieces Of Glass

--by smilingtofu, posted Apr 25, 2007

Last night I went outside to practice skateboarding. Afterwards, I took a small walk in the neighborhood. As I walked, I noticed there were pieces of broken glass on the side walk.

I thought that I should scoot the broken glasses into the grass so people wouldn't step on it, after all, I have seen little kids playing around the neighborhood.

But then a thought occurred to me, people could still get hurt from the glass even if they were in the grass.

After a small debate within in my head...

I went home and grabbed a plastic bag and returned to the same area. I decided to pick the pieces and put them into a plastic bag. (At the same time, I was thinking that hopefully this isn't stealing.. because I'm suddenly taking these pieces of glass.. which were clearly not mine.)

I grabbed as many as I could find and eventually putting the plastic bag of the glasses in at least two more bags, and then into a brown paper bag with the word written across 'Glass' (haha), so people couldn't get cuts easily. In the end, I threw the bag away...

So now the kids can play outside with less hazard things around.
