You should know better than that🙏🙏🙏

You may want to get details before opening your mouth. My daughter had put the pod on the refrigerator and I guess she didn't put it back far enough, so when she opened the refrigerator door it fell off on the floor and mom didn't know that. You can pray for my granddaughter, because she's still at the hospital.

They didn’t say anything about it but if I’m wrong I can say I have say I am wrong 🙏🏼

That's okay. I was just so scared. She just got home and is doing good. No internal damage to her insides. Have a good night.
