I know the "did Dottie drop the ball on purpose" has caused hours of debate here.

Along those same lines, did the mom in A Christmas Story break the Leg Lamp on purpose?



I say yes. Women are spiteful when they feel their sexuality is being threatened.

Hell yes she did

She was laughing at his arse trying to glue it back together.

"You used up all the glue on purpose!"

Of course she did, it's heavily implied.

100% yes. I didn't even think it was a question. Yes Ralphie told it like it was an unanswered mystery but no, not a mystery. She smashed it.

No she was watering the plants and just happened to destroy it like it had been stomped on.
So, yeah definitely.

My favorite is the lady on the phone when she is telling her that Ralphie cussed and was trying to tell her that her son was the one who he heard it from.


"Do you know where he heard it"

"Probably his father".

You must not be married to ask a question like that. When women don't like something in their house, it somehow gets broken or simply disappears without explanation--------and if you have a dog or cat in the house, the "It got broken" excuse is all the more plausible since they can't refute it.
