Spoon Theif...

So we thought we had a teaspoon thief... well, until yesterday that is. It seems like we've suddenly been running out of teaspoons every day for the last week or so. You use one and go to grab another and they're all gone? So, we did some spoon counting. When we first got married, we received two 8 piece sets of nice silverware. We kept both sets thinking we'd have enough to use for us and company, etc. which worked out great. Recently, I noticed we were "using" a lot of spoons during the day so I counted all my spoons yesterday - 16 tablespoons: check; 4 teaspoons: WHAT! Our conclusion: Both kids had tonsils taken out a week ago and were eating lots of jello, ice cream, pudding, etc. Well, we figure that little miss Kaylee has been throwing out her spoons each time along with her jello cup and/or pudding cup and we never noticed! So, I had to go out and buy some spoons today. I'm not happy though - after 14 years they don't make the pattern I have any more! So I was forced to buy spoons that don't match what I already have! Grrrrrrrrrrr Have no fear though, when Kaylee moves out, she's getting my unmatched set and I'm getting new ones!
