So, my daughter has had her first pair of glasses all of a month. And no, she didn't break them.
However, at lunch time, she handed them to a friend, so she could play on the monkey bars. Mistake #1, and 2- she's not supposed to wear her glasses outside at all, OR give them to her friends to try on, or hold. She has a case in her desk for gym class and recess.
So, she's flipping around on the monkey bars, and said friend drops them. Great. Mistake #3- instead of picking them up, both friend and Raegan run off to play. They forget where they are, and promptly lose them.
Inside she goes at the end of recess, upset and crying. Teacher tells her to go out alone and look for them. So, she spends a good 20 minutes out there looking, by herself, goes back in, and is told to check the office. Office doesn't have them.
Teacher tells her tough luck, and she sits the rest of the day without them.
She gets sent home, and is practically bawling when she gets here, wanting her glasses, and afraid of what we'll say.
I wasn't home at the time, but I guess she was pretty much hysterical. So, my FIL (who's up visiting from NC for a week) takes her over to look for them. They're there right now.
Chances of finding them intact, after 4 grades of classes went on afternoon recess, and after the afterschool program went on recess, are slim to none. At the very least, I expect we'll have to get the lenses replaced for scratching against the ground and being kicked around.
Chances are more likely that the frames are out of shape, if not broken.
Ugh.
