Thought snippet

A single spoon sat
In a clean sink
While clean utensils stared
From tidy counter
Taking in a satisfied view
I wonder -what act of the spoon,
Did the waters disapprove
That it refused to wash?

LOL !!! the mirror of perfection has a spot on it !!! LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL, yep, looks like it

Leveret 333 said...

Out! Out ! Damned spot ! LOL !!

Mindsnomad Yay said...

My world is weird, even utensils talk back ;)

Leveret 333 said...

LOL! Do they speak a foreign language ??

Mindsnomad Yay said...

No, some kind of telepathic language, I hear it in my head and I just understand, its not the sound of what they say but what they say *giggling*. A few days ago, I heard my pan say - "Oh! too hot, my skin is peeling" Usually it goes - "So what am I going to play with?"

Leveret 333 said...

lil buggers ...like children playing games with you .. and run and hide when you try to catch them in the act... lol

tracy marshall said...

LOL!! I love this :):)

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Its fun for me...else cooking would be so boring with no one to talk to :P

Leveret 333 said...

LOLOLOL !!!

tracy marshall said...

and the funny thing is, I kept saying the French word for spoon while I was in Paris, table spoon, soup spoon, desert spoon, etc, the word spoon came up alot!

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Some day I am going to write down all the conversations I have with while cooking..

tracy marshall said...

Oh PLEASE do it!

Leveret 333 said...

Its the talking back part that can be totally unpredictable...Sounds like discipline problems... "Now listen here spoon ! "" lol

tracy marshall said...

and you just solved my dislike of cooking phase

tracy marshall said...

ahahahahah fork off!

Leveret 333 said...

LOLOL !

Mindsnomad Yay said...

I have no idea why, but the spoon must have some significance, for me to have thought of a poem for it. :P

tracy marshall said...

oops. LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL!!! Fork, Off with your head!

tracy marshall said...

yes I think it's interesting!

tracy marshall said...

Mindsnomad Yay said...

My son did that when he dropped the spoon, "Listen spoon, you stay with my fingers" LOL, it was hilarious.

tracy marshall said...

ROFL!!!

Leveret 333 said...

LOL .. Out of the mouths of babes LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

They seem to take after me in this aspect.. they talk to their stuff too, just like me.. now I have to teach them whisper to them in their minds in Public... :P

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Oh! the Things we need to teach.

Leveret 333 said...

Would be funny if you all started talking to spoons in public ...lol

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Yes, the crowds will make way for us and the mad house will have three more patients *giggling*

Leveret 333 said...

No point in that... you know children .. the little mimics will show your card long after you forgot you even did it ...Like mine .. "Remember 30 years ago when you said this or you did that "??

Mindsnomad Yay said...

" remember 30 years ago when you said this or you did that ?? "

LOL! that is my dialogue too with my family... Mostly they dont remember the things I do.

tracy marshall said...

LOL lets start a trend, who's game?

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Haha Tracy, I already do it, mostly in my mind.. I go "so which of you am I supposed to use first?" or "why on earth are you so small, when I want a huge scoop of icecream"

Leveret 333 said...

paint faces on the spoons .. dress em up ..and pin it to our shoulders.. we can talk like people do with cell phones .. LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL!!!

tracy marshall said...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Or when we dont want to respond to the one talking to us, we can go "talk to my spoon"

Leveret 333 said...

Or maybe just stick it in our ear !!

tracy marshall said...

ROFL!!!

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL!! or in their mouth, at least it will keep them quiet :P

Leveret 333 said...

LOL The perfect secret weapon for nuisances ..lol ..

tracy marshall said...

LOL! Shall we start with imaginary ones then?

Leveret 333 said...

A very LARGE spoon LOL

tracy marshall said...

exactly why imaginary ones might work best, we can imagine them to fit perfectly

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL!! it should be fun... and it has double meaning.. Invisible Shadow Spooning Us. We dont need husbands/lovers/friends to spoon us that way :P

Leveret 333 said...

Or maybe if we dont want to respond to them ... "Just go talk to my spoon "...

tracy marshall said...

and have a laugh at the same time without getting into trouble, ha ha

tracy marshall said...

ooooh that sounds like a lead on an interesting story.....

Leveret 333 said...

I have tears in my eyes from laughing so much ... Must have touched my "funny spoon " LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

I imagine it would....something that keeps us feeling safe always.

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Who would thunk a spoon could make us laugh!! LOL

Mindsnomad Yay said...

AH!! the spoon has its uses...

tracy marshall said...

spoon river

tracy marshall said...

(I wish I could remember what it is in French, I forgot! coueillueoureau or something)

tracy marshall said...

cuillère

close!

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Whats a Spoon river.. is that a river named Spoon or a River of spoons?

Leveret 333 said...

No wonder that spoon hid itself in the sink .. it was craving attention ..and not tucked away in some drawer leading a mundane life of spoonery for spoons sake.. It wants to elevate !!

tracy marshall said...

ROFL!!! Oh I love this

Mindsnomad Yay said...

haha @ spoonery for spoons sake, oh LORDY!!

Leveret 333 said...

Sounds like a great book theme .. "The elevation of a spoon "

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Or the "Levitation of a spoon"

tracy marshall said...

Confessions of a Bent Spoon

tracy marshall said...

Ladle Me Up, Scottie

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Mindsnomad Yay said...

That would make a wonderful metaphor for our not so imagined perfect life.

Leveret 333 said...

Chapter One....Spoon is cleansed in the waters ... Ch Two...Elevation of spoon to dry sink... Ch 3.. Spoon speaks ...Ch 4 Spoon talks back... Ch 5.. Spoon gets bent... Ch 6.. Spoon mixes Ch 7 Spoon winds up back in sink... learns not to mix spooning with mixing.. Gets a good cleaning .. and winds up back in drawer... .. End of first spoon incarnation...

tracy marshall said...

Mindsnomad Yay said...

tracy marshall said...

Mindsnomad Yay said...

I think the chapter 3. should be "Thus Spake the Spoon" :P gives it a nice out of the world bend.

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Chapter 8 : The Spoon Journals on its Journey.

Leveret 333 said...

LOL The Spoon Bible ... consciousness of a spoon... and subsequent lifetimes... From First inception to garage sale item

Mindsnomad Yay said...

LOL!!! Oh wait, I shouldnt be laughing who am I to say the Spoon isnt conscious especially when we converse.

Leveret 333 said...

Go ahead and laugh .. the journey of a spoon requires a round of humility ... he he

Mindsnomad Yay said...

Madhavan . said...

Guess you are trying to blame the water instead of your mind. Tell me honestly how many scoops of icecream/gulab jamuns you shared with your hubby in the same spoon and still you feel the taste.LOL
