I hope he offers to pay for it, but I would not ask him to. I had a friend of my daughter’s who was spending the week by us with ehr parents out fo town, running around like a vildeh chaya when she was a little girl. She knocked over a very expensive antique lamp and it shattered. So what should I have done, made this child feel even more upset than she was? I just told the kids to play more carefully, told her not to be upset it’s just a lamp and no one was injured B”H, cleaned up the mess myself (because the shards of the lamp were sharp), and looked at it as a kaparah.
