SOOO much. I get super paranoid about someone stepping on broken glass, especially my LO. I go crazy trying to find every possible piece of glass. I do the wet paper towel method and seriously use up a whole roll. I do it for several days until I feel more comfortable. The wet paper towel things works the best in finding the tiniest pieces of glass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94214 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 16:37:28 +0000 MsMini 94214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have magical glass shard finding feet! If someone broke a glass within the past couple weeks, I will find the 1 errant shard they missed every. single. time. When glass breaks here, DH usually cleans it up if he is home, since I am so good at stepping on glass. We do the pick up the big pieces, vacuum, then mop with a damp micro fibre mop. Between those steps, we rarely have errant pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94130 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:05:27 +0000 Andrea 94130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that!! I have had a few things break recently and inevitably you will find a random shard a few days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94121 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:54:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 94121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I would have done the same!! </p> <p>Yea the shard was actually big enough for me to pluck out using my fingers. I guess I could have cut my own fingers doing so but I didn't care. It was one of those mama bear moments. If something's hurting my bear cub (he didn't even notice it!) Imma gonna hurt someone real bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94097 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:31:51 +0000 chopsuey 94097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh nightmare. Glad it was a shard you could pluck out. :( I'm totally paranoid now.<br /> I took my jeans off and cleaned up in my underwear. haha. Didn't want a random shard on my pant leg traveling with me. I'm keeping LO away from the crime scene until her dad comes home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94096 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:30:28 +0000 heffalump 94096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Oh no! I've only stepped on glass once. The one time in my life I went outside without my shoes on. Luckily my dad's a foot doctor so I just went and had him take it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94094 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:29:19 +0000 chopsuey 94094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: there was a shard on the bottom of my foot. my other foot was itchy, so i used the non itchy foot to scratch the itchy one. scraped the shard over the top of my foot.<br /> it's amazing how thick the skin on the bottom of your foot is!<br /> -.-<br /> i hate glass </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94092 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:28:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 94092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh this is the WORST. I once thought for sure I got it all, but I found a shard STUCK IN RJ'S BIG TOE after we found blood all over the couch!!!! AHHHH!!! Thankfully it was just a scrape and the piece was big enough that it was literally just stuck there like a big splinter and I was able to pluck it right out. And it was barely bleeding... he had just wiped his toe all over the couch. I eventually figured out that the shard had traveled all the way from the kitchen to the living room where RJ had stepped on it. I think it must have gotten there on my sock or something. Or maybe I stepped on it and it didn't cut me but stuck to me and fell off in the living room. </p> <p>just another one of those "I'm the worst mom in the world" moments for Tina. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94091 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:28:07 +0000 heffalump 94091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like you did everything you can to try to get it all. I'm always paranoid after I break glass too, but I've never actually cut myself after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-glass#post-94088 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:25:59 +0000 chopsuey 94088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was opening up a glass tupperware container and it slipped out of my hands and shattered on our hard wood floor.<br /> Thousands of shards and glass dust all over the place. </p> <p>I think I got all of it, but shards can travel SO far and end up in the randomest places!</p> <p>I picked the large pieces up, swept the glass up using wet paper towels, then I vacuum'd the floor. </p> <p>I would die if my LO cut herself or.. if she picked a shard up and tried putting it in her mouth! AHHHHHHHHH</p> <p>Have you broken glass? How do you make sure it's ALL gone? </p>
