I've never had a newsletter you spoons and cutlery to resonate with my world this much than this one Jessica. Right now I'm kind of thinking it's spoon is or nothing. This was a masterpiece, very expressive
Personally, I like to use a big spoon to scoop ice cream and then eat it off the spoon in small bites. I’m trying to think of what other use big spoons get in our house….
Come to my house, where all the spoons and forks are acceptable because the ones that are not I remove from the draw immediately and add to a bag I’ll donate eventually. After it sits in my car for 2 months. 😂
My god yes ! I still don’t understand why I hate a big spoon but I also loathe it. Is it that we feel we’re more in control with a little one ?
I hope you’ll take this as the compliment which it is intended to be, but I never thought I’d find an article about spoons interesting, and yet you have a real knack for making even seemingly banal things very interesting to read.
The more I read of your writing Jessica, the more I recognise the beautiful joy that neurodiverse people bring into the world. My boy, Dom, would have been chortling as he read this…I got to chortle twice as much on his behalf. Thank you for bringing the light back ☀️
All the neurodivergents nodding along like, yes, yes, exactly.
Growing up, my mom had 2 sets of cutlery. Some of them had almost an hourglass shape— the dip and curve fitting perfectly in my hand. Some of them look like the handle is made of metal bamboo. I physically recoil from these. They are an affront to my sensibilities. Some of my siblings prefer the bamboo handled monstrosities, heathens.
Have you seen the video (I think it was TikTok) of a group of friends guessing which fork their friend would choose and giving criteria for why each would or would not be chosen? It was a beautiful display of neurodivergent love. Oh, to be known like that. 😂
It’s a small spoon or it’s nothing I cannot eat with a big spoon. I have my favourite knives and forks in my drawer and then the ones that I can’t eat with., they are for guests 😂

At a minimum, there are two of us. I felt this post. Thank you.

(I’m autistic and adhd, can you tell?)
I almost never think about the cutlery I use, yet this is one of my favourite things I've read all year.
Honestly, I had suspicions that maybe I’m slightly neurodivergent but this was the small spoon medical diagnosis I needed 🤯

All of the restaurants in my province replaced their plastic cutlery with WOODEN cutlery. I eat my ice cream off a stick now. It’s outrageous.

Like sitting on chair that's just been used. No, no. Not sharing certain things.
