Chaos happens. Spills happen. And once they have happened, they have already happened. Yes, there’s a mess and maybe even broken glass. But there’s no use crying or screaming about the spilled popcorn or crushed hamantashen. You can just clean it up and move on. Or even laugh.

When we make mistakes, adding insult or grief really doesn’t help the situation or even the learning for the next time.

Something will spill over the Purim. Laugh first, and then deal with it. Later. After a good laugh.
