Kids before 20th Century can relate how it can be stressful if you're told by your mother to clean this glass. Everytime you're told to wash the glass, you would pray from the beginning of washing till the end to not break the glass. Cause if you could break, you would receive serious beating. I believe this was a way our parents used to make us responsible and value little things we had.
