Sister Wives star Christine Brown planned a different type of holiday this year but driving across town looking for help wasn’t part of it. Christmas stockings hung by the fire with care and the smell of home cooking filled the air at Christine’s house. But something happened to disrupt that scene for this Sister Wives mom.

Sister Wives: Christine Brown Hightails It to Janelle Brown’s Place

Apparently, Ysabel Brown knocked over a glass Christmas tree ornament. Anyone who ever hung one of these holiday ornaments on their tree knows the mess they make when they break. Especially if one drops from some height, shards of glass can scatter throughout the room. So, this sounds like the scenario at Christine Brown’s Sister Wives’ house yesterday.

While cleaning up the mess, the third wife from this plural marriage stepped on a piece of that ornament’s glass. Apparently, it was so tiny that Christine referred to it as a “splinter”.  What most folks would do is turn to a family member at home for help if you can’t remove it yourself.

Apparently, she did. But it was Ysabel who was home at the time and extracting anything from her Sister Wives’ mom’s foot wasn’t going to happen. In a moving version of her “Car Confession” blurbs Christine tells the camera Ysabel basically couldn’t stomach the thought of removing that splinter.
