Where do the teaspoons go?
While visually indistinguishable from other teaspoons, it becomes most interesting to note the number and type of places that these "utensils" may be found.
Have you observed that many spoons find refuge in tool boxes? Could it be that these spoons may possess higher levels of testosterone, thus prefering the company of automotive tools? While often bright and shinney, these wayward utensils appear to have have no hesitation for getting truly dirty.
Other teaspoons prefer to cohabit with garden tools and may often be found in the vicinity of flower beds, garden sheds and toxic weed preventatives. It is suspected that former mentioned spoons may posses an artistic "bent" or, in the extream of the latter case, may have grown tired of a daily and mudane fare of foodstuffs while none the less displaying a decided preference for the company of other implements within the "green and growing" community.
Of course there exists the the hiding teaspoons. These can often be found in out of the way places such as under household appliances. They appear to prefer dark, quiet, places, that are rarely visited in one's normal routine. No matter how often one may retrieve them, they somehow return to the same place. It is suspected that they may have developed a reflective, introspective, and solitary nature.
The last major category consists of the traveling teaspoons. These spoons have been known to fling themselves into trash containers in a wild attempt gain their freedom depending upon the highly developed transportation routes of the various sanitation departments more greater mobility. Ever nomadic, They tend to move from home to home and should one happen to find an "odd teaspoon" in your drawer, the probabilities are high that it is a traveling teaspoon that has decided to test the suitability of your drawer. Traveling teaspoons rarely stay for long in one place, yet there are those which have been occasionally known to take up a somewhat permanent residence. It has also been reported that, amongst this group, there may be a few that have developed a perverse sense humor in that the transient teaspoon appears to wait for "acceptance" within the household only to disappear the following week.
