Do you stir your tea with a fork?!

[Pallyum]

In this house we suffer, and have long done so, from the mysterious Disappearing Spoon Syndrome (DSS). Therefore, some years ago, I adapted and began stirring my tea with —anything close by— a fork.

Yesterday, a newish friend witnessed this and now thinks I’m the most innovative and creative person ever. Well - I exaggerate a little maybe! She now thinks I’m strange as she has never seen anybody else do this.

So my question is - who else does this?!

Why do my strikeouts never work?!

If we have run out of teaspoons, sure!

I think we are possibly slatterns to be running out of clean cutlery in the first place though :o

Looks like your two dashes autocorrected into a long dash which is the wrong character and won't trigger the strikeout.

Pens or pencils usually.
Our spoons have eloped with yours.

My two dashes refuse to remain as two dashes! Is there a way to make them behave?!

I hope they’re all very happy together wherever they are!

I've been known to stir with a knife as well as needs be.

Never with the forkey end, often have to upend a fork and use the handle, we also suffer from DSS
and laziness

I use a fork to stir hot chocolate or sachet cappuccinos anything which is from a powder. With a tea spoon there were sometimes lumps, with a fork there never are !

I use a butter knife when lacking teaspoons, because in our house forks disappear at almost the same rate.

I don't know! What are you typing on?

I suspect DTS rather than DSS - Dear Teenage Son.

Our teaspoons seem to go on holiday to school in lunchboxes and prefer to stay there.

I use whichever cutlery is available.

Only when all the spoons are dirty

With the handle end only. Far to wild and alternative to use the fork end surely 😲!!!!!

(I think you can delete auto corrects - least on my phone you can - so when you do a two dash before you add the space whatever it's doing to autocorrect to appears above the keyboard and if you click and hold it offers the chance to delete it.)

(Alternatively, I think if you click back on an autocorrected work you get offered the chance to change it back to what it was.)
