Now, plate, be reasonable! Quit making such a fuss! Other plates have been broken into more pieces than you have.

You have no right to complain that you're broken. It's not like I threw you on the ground on purpose. I did the best I could.

Besides, it's your fault for being so breakable.

It happened so long ago that you should have put yourself back together by now. If you're still broken, it's just that you choose to be.
