Excuse Me, Sir. Are You Missing Any Spoons?

By Cynthia Sax on March 14, 2026

One night recently, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I had the honor of having dinner in a restaurant next to a family.

This family had a cute little 4 year old named Maria.

Maria received a plush doggy in a tiny purse-like carrier. She hung this combo from the crook of her arm like she was a little old lady going to church.

While her family was busy chatting and laughing, Maria quietly went from empty table to empty table, collecting all the spoons (and only spoons) from the place settings.

She slipped these spoons from one to one into her plush doggy carrier.

By the time the family left, Maria must have gathered at least 30 spoons.

I grin when I envision the restaurant workers wondering where all the spoons went.

And I grin when I envision Maria’s parents finding her hoard of spoons and then having to return those spoons to the restaurant.

Maria is pure chaos and I love that.
