Your spoon’s just a tribute. 🥄
There.. I said it.
Now, don’t get me wrong, your spoon is fine, but mine is THE spoon. 🔥
In our house, it is known as “The Spoon of Plenty” and it is perfect in every way.
The exact right weight.
The exact right curve.
The perfect balance of sharpness & smoothness.
I didn’t choose it. It chose me.
Now, I know that this might sound a bit strange to some, but others will understand when I say that if it gets lost in the drawer, it’s not “mild inconvenience,” it’s a small personal crisis.
If someone else uses it, unless specific permission has been granted, or is offered for someone to feel better because of the “magic, regenerative properties” that it possesses and grants the user, it feels like betrayal.
I know that it shouldn’t matter, and that there are 11 other spoons in the drawer, but those are decoys. Impostors.
Tribute spoons, if you will.
This isn’t fussiness.
It’s sensory consistency.
When a neurodivergent brain is already managing a lot of input, relying upon one less unknown (hello, familiar weight and texture) is genuinely regulating.
It’s the same reason that you’ve got a go-to hoodie, a specific route to work, a playlist on repeat.
So there’s no shame in the spoon loyalty. Protect it. Name it if you have to, but just remember that there can be only one.. the rest are just tributes. 🥄🎸
Long live the spoon. All hail “The Spoon of Plenty” 🙌
