The forks in our house are disappearing. Where can they be going?

You Too?

I have the same problem. My suspect my kids carelessly throwing them in the garbage.

aha!

Maybe your kids are taking my forks, too!

I also suspect Mr. Wren. He uses forks as backscratchers, and I think he may be leaving them in strange, random places around the house. Still, it is such a lot of forks that have gone missing….!

So strange...

I wonder if they are all off on a tropical vacation, along with the missing socks.

I was just going to write about socks. Always single.

You know, that might be it!

Way far back in the dryer, back where we can not see, there may be a black hole that the socks dive into. When you think about it, it is probably hard and unpleasant work being a sock. No wonder they want to escape!

knives anyone?

I have an entire set of kitchen ware missing every knife.

Tonight I was putting away the cutlery and wondered why I have four sets anyway. Should I not simply donate all this to a shelter and get two whole sets?

And if I do, will the salad forks go missing one by one?

how bizarre!

Maybe we are all experiencing a sublime form of planned obsolescence perpetrated by the Evil Eating Utensil Industry?

keep the spoons

Forks are good donations, but spoons always disappear. Keep them.

All my steak knives went missing

They were gone for a few weeks, and now just as mysteriously they’ve started reappearing.

Do you think it’s safe to eat with them if I don’t know where they’ve been?

it's a matter of trust

If you trust them, with cause, then the details of where they’ve been may be of little consequence.

(I have been wrong in the past, a few times)

I don't know...

I would proceed with caution!

Steak knives tend to be craft little buggers.
