4 Spoons Today

I only managed 4 spoons today.

Getting to 50 is my next target.

I was quite pleased considering I had both my sons all day!

 

I like letting the spoons carve themselves.

I am sure many of you understand EXACTLY what I mean!

 

These are used everyday by the family,

so live next to the dining room table.

My favourite story about teaching my youngest to carve:

 

'Now you must not carve towards yourself,

I have told you already that is dangerous,

you might cut yourself!' I say to my 5 year old...

 

(he is carving with a frost laminated razor sharp knife)

 

'I know daddy, my thumb is already leaking' he says,

 

'Seriously?! Why did you not tell me?'

 

I investigate to find the wood and his hand covered in blood.

 

(Disclaimer - no children were permanently

injured in the making of this tale)
