A Day in a Life of a Spoon
Wikia

I've been seeing a lot of you humans say things like "I hate my life" and "finals are hard." All you talk about are your "daily struggles." Well, let me tell you: if you lived one day in my shoes, you would wish that you were back in your musty classroom, checking Facebook in the back of the class while pretending to pay attention. Do you know how hard it is for spoons? Do you understand what my life is like? No. You really don't. If you can pull your face away from pretending to study for two seconds, I will fill you in on the life that is mine: the life of a spoon.

1. Hearing the phrase "spooning" as a positive.

I assume this phrase comes from the way you humans arrange us in drawers until you care to use us for your selfish purposes. I personally do not understand what romantic connotation can possibly come from being placed closely together with others of your kind in a dark and small space for extended period of times. I don't know, maybe I'm the weird one. I, however, do not get warm fuzzies from the idea of "spooning." I actually find it pretty offensive and feel that there should a campaign for slang against spoons.

2. Listening to "A Spoonful of Sugar..." any time a little human needs what you call "medicine."

I am not sure why you fully-sized humans feel the need to sing this God forsaken tune any time one of the little humans drinks "medicine." It absolutely does not make the little one more inclined to consume the liquid you are trying to force down their throats. To be perfectly frank, I can see why. I mean, it feels sticky and smells like cleaning products. You are only adding to the less-than-fabulous experience by choosing this song to be in your repertoire.

3. When I am dropped for emphasis.

Just keep me in your hands! It isn't that hard. What seems like a mere drop to you is traumatic for me. Have some consideration...jeez...

4. When I am used to feed the furry ones.

I mean, come on, this is obviously unsettling. JUST THINK OF WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR ME! I'm not dumb, I know that the creature's tongue has been used for all sorts of nasty things (such as cleaning themselves or eating that absolutely foul smelling substance that you put in bowls for them). Why would I want any part of that tongue near me? I don't. Just to be clear, I don't.

5. Not to mention the drooling demons...

Do not even get me started....it's abuse. It is downright abuse.

6. I hate being blamed for your lack of self control.

You are the one inhaling the food that you place on my face. You are the one lifting me to that hole under your nose and, quite frankly, violating my personal space with your tongue just to be certain that you have cleaned me of anything edible. Let me assure you: you were successful. Congratulations.

7. Spoons have feelings, too.

Just because we don't talk much does not mean we aren't self-conscious about our bodies. Your levels of awareness and sensitivity are touching, really. No, seriously, I'm not crying...I just came out of the dishwasher...NO REALLY, I AM JUST PEACHY.

On that note, it feels super awesome being used as a drumstick. You should keep that up.

Oh wait...I'm actually enjoying envisioning being used to feed you arsenic. Of course, that's a little extreme—instead, I drench you with water when you try to wash me by hand...I think we know who came out on top there.

So really, your life is not all that awful. Just think, you could be a spoon. I hope this has made you feel a little more thankful for your place in this universe. This is Spoon, signing out!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
