She absolutely broke it on purpose. The old man had a little joy and because she didn’t like it she made it go away

She was always jealous of that lamp and used up all the glue on purpose.

She knew the major award was Frag-el-eee.

She was probably more pissed that she helped him win it and he claimed all the glory. She knew the name of The Lone Ranger's nephew's horse.

I think there is one remote village somewhere with one resident (we will not call him their “idiot”) who thinks that the lamp incident was an “accident.”

It’s great how the dad is in the basement doing battle with the furnace but hears the sound of the plastic lamp breaking and runs up the stairs to see what happened.

In the book, the dad would have the hot mom dress like the lamp in the bedroom. She wore perfume that smelled like ozone.

They want $300 for the Leg Lamp at A Christmas Story site.

Which is double the price of a Frigidaire Electric Oven back in 1940.

Ah inflation, gotta love it.

So maybe he did win a major award...and she broke it...on purpose.
