Where have all the spoons gone? Long time passing.
Where are all my spoons? Does anyone ever lose spoons? Or is it just me? Why not the forks, or the knives? Why is it always the spoons? I buy new silverware every couple of years, just because my spoons start disappearing. It's hard to eat cereal with a fork. You can do it, but you really don't get much of the milk. Of course, you can drink the milk after you're done, but it's not the same. You've gotta have spoons. Why would someone take my spoons? I found a fork in the garbage once. My three year old threw it in there with his paper plate. Perhaps this is where all my spoons have gone. In the trash. They were good spoons too. Even half price, that last set was 75 bucks. Sad. I enjoy nice matching silverware. Makes me feel like the world is a nice place when everything matches. No, not really. I'm just trying to make this entry longer. It's not working. Hey, last night I had a dream about Elastic. She hacked into my blog and wrote an entry about Christina Ricci. She said she did it because my blog was boring. Ain't that the truth. Look at me. I blog about spoons. And bacon. Can't forget the bacon.

The spoons are all in the garden (or any available dirt) or the trash can.....there might also be one in husbands vehicle with the tupperware container you are also missing. That is where they go to my friend. Just go with plastic. Save the "silver" for the nice dinners.....you know like, your birthday or something.
Sodak, am I supposed to be having nice dinners on my birthday??
I buy spoons in bulk at Wal-Mart. Obviously, other people have the same spoon woes as you and I, carrot, or they wouldn't offer solo spoons in a giant industrial sized box, would they? I'm blaming alien abductions. Not illegal aliens, mind you, but the little green Martian men kind. They only have sporks on their planet, and spoons fascinate them to no end. So much so, that they take them captive to perform spoon tests on them using various forms of Jell-O and pudding.
Istanbul Was Once Constantinopole............
They probably go the same place that binkies and socks go.
Or perhaps Salad Fingers has made a visit to your house.....creepy.
so funny that you wrote this post becuase i just commented on another blog about how all of my utensils have disappeared. i was just at target the other week and bought the kids their own utensils and paul commented that night that there are more kid utensils then there are OUR utensils.
and for some reason that song, "where have all the cowboys gone?" is running through my head, except "flatware" in the place of cowboys.
Can't dig a hole in the back yard with a fork.
I am happy to report that there is no shortage of spooning at my house right now. Just in case you were interested.
I have heard this complaint more than once! The spoons definitely must find their way to the backyard or something. My mother blessed me with a truck load of spoons from a yardsale one time. I've been set ever since! (I wonder if those yardsale spoons were collected from some else's backyard).
You blog is not boring--especially with the great music. I'm having a hard time concentrating on my comment. Istanbul ;-D
It's a conspiracy I tell ya! We need to chain our spoons together so they don't get lost . . . though with them on a chain gang, do we need to fear a spoon uprising?
Thanks for the bloggy music today . . . haven't heard TMBG in a while! :)
When I got married, my mother-in-law bought us our silverware, a set of 10 of everything, except spoons, which she bought us 20 of for this very reason! She had 5 busy sons and knew how spoons disappear.
For us its the forks that are disappearing. We have two sets of silverware so we should have 32 forks (between the big ones and the little ones) and yet we can barely find seven so that we can all have a fork! Maybe we should go in for matching silverware and I will give you half of the spoons, and you can give me half of the forks...
This is why I went to just getting the cheapy sets at Walmart. You can even get all spoons. 6 for like $3.00! It's spoon heaven I tell you.
Hey 'lastic and I have matching spoon-ware. First I typed "spoonageware" and that just looked like it was spelled wrong...
I think I'm going to go pass out somewhere, 'cause this is just too bizarre. We have about 40 spoons, and the other day, the cutlery drawer had no spoons. What on earth?! And I started singing to myself, "Where have all the spoons gone? Loooong time paaaassing!"
Neil's beginning to be really concerned about my mental health.
yes, you are supposed to be having a nice dinner on your birthday, even if it is you....alone....in a closet with all the spoons....see, wouldn't that be nice....you could squirt hershey syrup in every spoon...hidden in a closet.....sounds like a good time to me.
Smells like bacon. Good bacon btw.
The spoons are right next to the socks and my sanity.
Wherever it's they go, I don;t think I want them back.
(GASP) We lose our spoons too.
I should mail you a spoon, it would be good mail. What if everyone mailed you a spoon? I bet you would be the only lady in America getting spoons from every state.
You might could get an interview on the Early show.
Look! Those people on your sidebar agree, they are smiling and clapping.
Wow, who knew spoons would illicit such a response.
Elastic, I'm not sure spoons could get me to go to WalMart. Our WalMart is bad. Very, very bad.
B., ain't that the truth.
Aubrey, after reading your comment, I had that song going through my head. Thanks.
Annie, No, no you can't. I'm glad you have no spoon shortage.
Karen, did all the spoons match? I'll have to think about that idea. Sorry my music distracted you, and Welcome!
Kate, spoon uprising, lol.
Mary, how smart she was
Heffalump, ooh, great idea!
Sketchy, Wow, if you ever hosted a dinner together, you'd have enough matching silverware for a ton of people
Kimberly, Er...the cutlery drawer had no spoons? Shouldn't spoons be in the silveware drawer?
SoDak, Me alone in a closet with hershey's syrup? Hmmm...how about some cake too?
NCS, so true
PJ, *GASP!* Yes goodmail spoons. As long as they weren't engraved with states. I don't like those spoons.
Yeah, I agree! We should mail you some spoons! I had a cousin-in-law who had a French mom and she told me it was a tradition they have a crystal cylindrical vase-type thing (the "spoon holder") on the kitchen counter that is only for spoons. She gave one to us for our wedding shower and we used it. For some reason, we always had enough spoons.* I have no idea why.
*note: Ex took the crystal spoon vase thingy. I visited his home the other day. A GLUT of spoons. I, of course, no longer have a crystal spoon holder. I am low on spoons. So, there ya go!
It's like a free association post, only interesting and funny.
I dreamt last night that you called me. It showed up on my caller id "Carrotjello". I promise I don't dream about you. Much.
Spoons are the only silverware that disappear around here. I'm certain my daughter throws them away. But why not the forks? You pose a very intriguing question here...
Shazzy comes home every now and then with mold-infested tupperware and crusty cutlery.
Did you know that socks get eaten by the dryer and turned into wire hangers in the backs of all my closets? It's true.
I haVe yOur SpoOnz.
iF yoU evEr waNt to see thEm aGaiN, You wIll liSt my bLog oN yoUr SiDeBar.
nOw.
I hate my evil twin! That naughty blogger!
I buy more spoons at DI. I figure nothing is going to match as long as I have five kids at home. The less I pay for stuff, the better.
I thought it was just me. I lose more spoons. I have speculated the kids must throw them away. But I have no idea why!?
I was expecting to find my missing spoons when I was cleaning the garage but no luck. I did find a missing steak knife that Annie got accused of taking. Sorry Annie.
If you buy cheaper spoons at IKEA maybe nobody would steal them. Maybe then people would start giving them to you.
Every time you get take out, you can always "steal" some plastic spoons to have as a standby for cereal consumption ... or for a park toy when you are the only mom who forget to bring sand toys. But then all the little kids try to steal your kids special red scoopy toy.
Yep, our spoons disappear too! I think they get thrown away. I finally resorted to getting a cheap set and a nice set of silverware. We only use the nice silverware for dinner or when guests come so I can closely monitor the dishes. We use the cheap set the rest of the time.
I responded to some comments. That's better than none, eh?
