Chapter 14 - My soup stunt
The dinner-table footage became part of the case too.
My mother’s attorney wanted it.
Of course.
I had thrown a steaming pot across a table of people.
Nobody was seriously hurt.
Two guests reported minor redness from splashes.
One suit was ruined.
My attorney told me:
“Being furious does not create a legal exemption.”
Correct.
I accepted a misdemeanor reckless-conduct diversion agreement.
Paid medical expenses.
Paid property damage.
Completed an anger-management course.
People laughed when they heard that.
I didn’t.
Throwing the pot was satisfying for five seconds.

It also could have hurt somebody who had no idea what my mother was doing.
I would not do it again.
