Bull In A China Shop
When I was a kid, my mom had a rule when we went into any place with breakable items: hold my hand, stay by my side and don’t you dare…

See, I was a "bull in a china shop" and she knew it. And she knew she would never be able to afford whatever it is that I undoubtedly would break. ;)
That's why the story of a family who broke an 800-year-old coffin in a museum and then ran off struck such a chord with me.
You ever break something of value and then run off instead of facing the consequences?
