[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Couldn't find my post for a while. To answer some questions:

-The shoes are high heels. I had them on earlier in the day and took them off when I changed into flats. When I got home, we had a dinner gathering and I put my purse in my office. 
-Nephew was looking for *another* sister's shoes, not his Mom's (she wasn't over).
-Nephew was genuinely sorry and a bit nervous to tell me what happened. We have an extremely close relationship. More like mother/son, so I chastise and punish him like I do my own children!
-Yes, I was pissed at myself for dropping my phone. But not sure why that matters when *I* paid for the repair. He doesn't have a job, so no money coming from that side. And, honestly, I wouldn't take it. And I wouldn't expect my sister to pay for her adult son's clumsiness.

I hate phone protectors (so bulky), but screw it. I'm getting one now. Repair cost me $190. I'm gonna give him $100 which is a more reasonable graduation gift amount anyway. [/quote]
