The Soap I Use Is Growing My Spoons
To set some context, I have a silverware set that includes forks (big and small), spoons (big and small) and a couple of kitchen knives. However for the last couple of months I have noticed an unusual occurrence. It seems every time I need them, I never have any clean small spoons. Every time I want to get a small spoon I have to wash one really quickly before I can sit down to eat my meal. It’s not like I’ve changed my dish washing schedule. I do my dishes after dinner every night, it’s become a part of my daily routine.
But still, I never have enough small spoons.
In turn, it feels like I always have too many big spoons. I rarely use the big spoons because I don’t like how - well - big they are. They’re unwieldy for my hands and I really only consistently use them when I am cooking or tasting something. Maybe it is because there are never any small spoons in the drawer (something, something contrast) but I feel that I always have too many big spoons and never enough small spoons.
This has led me to only one logical conclusion.
The soap I use is making my small spoons grow into big spoons.
Think about it, and you will determine that it is the only logical conclusion. I can’t think of a time that I would lose a spoon of all things. I always return my spoons to the sink for washing later and I never leave spoons in my leftovers. For some reason, I hate leaving utensils in my food.
And so much like the laundry machine can shrink your clothes, the soap I am using must have the ability to grow my spoons.
