Existential Crisis... Pam moved the spoons


 Pam moved the spoons.


Now I can’t find them. Now I have to think and remember where they are because… 


Pam moved the spoons.


This is against the rules. There is an unwritten rule that everyone knows about that once you move into a new place (we moved into a new place) and everything gets put away (we put things away) and it (it being the spoons) doesn’t move for 6 months (the spoons were put away for more than 6 months) then that is it’s permanent home. Maybe you didn’t know this is a rule, but everyone else knows this is a rule which is why I can say everyone knows this is a rule.


It’s a common sense rule. Once something has a home for 6 months or more that is it’s home. The place it lives and feels comfortable. 


There was a study done once by the National Cutlery Association (NCA) that was labeled "Top Secret". I only know about it because I know people "familiar with the subject". And they tell me that the study proves spoons have feelings to (to meaning also). Forks also have feelings but they are rather ambivalent (meaning the have feelings but they don't really care one way or the other about most things). It was interminable (this means who the heck knows) if knives had feelings or not.


(Today is put everything in bracket day.)(Soon to be a National Holiday.)(For real.)


So there is that (meaning the NCA study).


Pam ignored this rule and relocated all the spoons, forks and knives to a new drawer. Now they are lost. Now they are alone. Now they are refugees. Displaced. Now they feel abandoned and "left out" because no one knows where they are. 


Before Pam moved the spoons you (you meaning me) could turn to your old friends in their familiar home. Now you have to think about it and then remember, oh yeah…


Pam moved the spoons.
