My 19yo son insists that trifle should be eaten with a fork Shock

He's sitting here right now, eating a big bowl of sloppy trifle with a fucking FORK. He rolled his eyes and said "I knew you guys would be weird about this".

It's him, right? He's the weird one. Not the rest of us, who are using spoons.

He’s bvu to not share.

XenoBitch · 30/12/2021 19:46

YANBU, he is weird. Use a spoon!

PeterPomegranate · 30/12/2021 19:46

I don’t even like trifle and I know you eat it with a spoon. YANBU

Chopsticks!

He is 100% wrong in every way ShockConfused

AtillatheHun · 30/12/2021 19:47

Disown him.

BonnesVacances · 30/12/2021 19:48

Haha! That's something my DS would do. Grin I think he's mixing trifle up with a cake or pudding, which is often eaten with a fork.

Hoppinggreen · 30/12/2021 19:48

What did you give birth to?

Squirrelblanket · 30/12/2021 19:48

Trifle should be put in the bin. HTH.

Scautish · 30/12/2021 19:48

Straws in this house. A fork is stupid.

Who as voted YABU?? It must be a mistake surely.

Immaculatemisconception · 30/12/2021 19:49

Anyone who eats trifle is weird. Envy not envy.

Is it too late for adoption?

He's a bloody changeling. It's the only explanation. His position remains that the rest of us are peasants. Xmas Angry

This is really down to his upbringing OP - he’s obviously not had good role models but it’s probably a bit late to sort it now.

I’d seriously consider asking him to leave.

Merryoldgoat · 30/12/2021 19:51

Oh ffs. I want a bloody trifle now.

TeapotCollection · 30/12/2021 19:51

I can kind of see his point because if you do that it will be harder to eat and will therefore last longer. Still wouldn’t do it though

I really want some trifle now

IncompleteSenten · 30/12/2021 19:51

Does he eat jelly with a fork? Custard? Cream?

He's weird. Trifle needs a spoon.

fourquenelles · 30/12/2021 19:51

Does he eat jelly with a fork?
Does he eat custard with a fork?
Does he eat cream with a fork?

The only element of trifle that is fork worthy is the cakey one.

He is an idiot. Sorry OP!

Classic teen: he’s just goading!

Scrabblecrabapple · 30/12/2021 19:53

He saw someone eat cake with a fork and assumed this meant all desserts?

I like him.

Georgeskitchen · 30/12/2021 19:53

Nah!!! It should be sucked up through a straw 🤣🤣
