Reddit user JimmyCDos posted a photograph of an unfamiliar object he found lying next to his 15-year-old son's packed football bag.
The father explained that his son had morning training scheduled and was already sleeping. He said the equipment bag was packed on the kitchen table with the object placed next to it. The father added that he does not spy on his son or suspect him of anything, but he had never seen the item before and could not guess what it was.
Online users quickly informed him that the object was a glass cutter featuring an oil-filled handle to lubricate the blade during use. The father then recalled that his son had made a stained glass lantern for an art class in the previous school year.

The unusual art assignment prompted numerous jokes from other internet users. One commenter advised the father to remain concerned, describing stained glass crafting as an addictive, time-consuming, and expensive hobby, and suggested talking to children before it is too late. Another user remarked that the craft begins with lanterns, moves on to small churches, and eventually leads to cathedrals. A third commenter said he started making stained glass for pleasure but now relies on it every morning for stress relief.
The report noted that another Reddit user previously shared finding a strange item in the luggage of her 31-year-old boyfriend before a long vacation, leading her to suspect potential betrayal.
