Pretty much everything B and I have is all piece meal stuff, things we’ve been given, and things we brought into the relationship.
My silverware is mostly stuff from a restaurant I worked at ages ago, and the ones he brought from the bachelor pad are just that, bachelor silverware. I don’t like his, because the handles are really fat and I can’t tell which way is up. So I avoid his and mostly use mine
We have an abundance of knives and spoons. I like spoons much better than forks since I’ve gone blind. I’ll use forks when there’s plenty of food to spear, but mostly eat with spoons.
But sometimes I want a fork, and B always uses one. and we hardly have any. Huh? Is there a fork monster like a sock monster? Where have all the forks gone?
And I’m picky when I do use a fork. I like long tines. For some reason I’ve got 2 forks with short tines. Pie forks I guess. B’s forks have long tines, but they all have one bent tine, and a middle tine at that, not even an end tine. How do you bend a middle tine of a fork? So the bend tine will poke my tooth. I asked him once, what the hell did you do with these forks, try and fix stuff with them? It started a bit of a sheepish giggling fit, because he honestly doesn’t know.
this leaves me with like 3 of my forks with long straight tines and handles that let me tell which way is up.
We need more forks. Can you buy forks separately? And are they loose so I can feel the handles?
Forks. Who’d have ever thought forks would be such an issue.
hmmm yes, no comment lol. But if it makes you feel any better there is definitely a silverware monster.. Ours like spoons
Lol I’ve got a spoon theif, but in a completely different context 😉
There’s this essay called The Spoon Theory about how this girl described having Lupus to a friend, and its all about running out of spoons. I should find that link and post it sometime.
