We have this spoon. I don’t know where it came from…it just showed up in our silverware drawer. It doesn’t match any of our other silverware. Our silverware is plain…nothing special. This spoon, however, is just a bit fancier. In this photo, you can see the mystery spoon (the one on the left) next to one of our plain, normal spoons.
This spoon has a curvy design on the handle, and it just looks a bit more posh than the others. Anyway, since discovering this spoon in our drawer, my two older children (ages 8 and 5) have dubbed it, “the lovely spoon.” They fight over it. Seriously. “No fair! Moriah had the lovely spoon for lunch!!! It’s my turn!” “I had the lovely spoon first!” “Ha ha, I’ve got the lovely spoon!” I’ve even caught Isaac hiding the lovely spoon under all the other spoons when he’s unloading the dishwasher. We’ve had to intervene several times, promising to wash the lovely spoon so the other child can have it for the next meal. I could always hide the lovely spoon, or I could just give it to Gabriela, who doesn’t really care (actually she much prefers her Hello Kitty spoon). But it’s so comical to see them fight over a spoon, that I just leave it alone to see who will end up with it. Silly kids.
