Dad: You're really going to make a pangolin costume for Alice? Mom: Yup! I've got it all planned- Mom: I'll use Petey's dragon costume from his fourth Halloween. It's the right size and shape. I'll take a few things off it. Use some fabric paint. Add a long tongue. And viola- A PANGOLIN COSTUME! Dad: And when Alice changes her mind at the last minute? Mom: Don't say that while I'm washing fragile stemware.

You teach her the value of planning by letting her choose which to wear, the costume you made for her or no costume.

From personal experience I don’t think she’s worried about the cost of replacing the fragile stemwear, but how much damage it could do if it shattered in her hands. When I was in High School I had my first chemistry class. For one experiment we had to put a long stem through a rubber stopper so we could add a certain liquid to a closed environment. While putting the glassware through the hole in the stopper I grabbed the glass tube too tight and it shattered, passing through my index finger and out the back of my hand and leaving three pieces of glass next to a nerve. That is something I never want to go through again.

If you lube the glass tube, it goes through easier.
