Disturbing news if you are a spoon.

My sister-in-law Andrea recently told me her spoons were slowly disappearing. She called me the other day to tell me she'd found two in her garbage and suspected nearly-two-year-old Calvin of throwing them away.

I breathed a sigh of relief that my kids no longer threw spoons away.

I am so naive.

While cleaning the upstairs toy room yesterday, I discovered my spoons. With their heads removed from their bodies. One spoon was folded into thirds. Another was in the process of having it's head twisted off.

Yes, they are cheap spoons. $1 from Walmart for 6 of them. But still ... they deserve better than that.
