Did the Mom in fact use all the glue on purpose?

Somebody used all the glue right? Maybe the Husband had a legitimate accusation here.

Definitely. You can see it in her face.

The question of intent is a good one. Did she indeed use the glue on purpose, or was the glue used up as a matter of coincidental circumstance?

Or.. maybe she did neither but either just told the old man the glue was gone (figuring he wouldn't know where it was anyway) or maybe she threw it out!!

Ideally.

That scene always makes me laugh and I do think she used all the glue on purpose.

She had it out for that lamp the moment she laid eyes on it.
