When I was little my family had a silverware set that we ate with every night. It had two sets... little forks and big forks, little spoons and the big serving spoons, etc. Being young and naive I naturally assumed that part of bing an adult was that you had to eat with big silverware. Finally one day, being fed up with my little fork, I proudly told my parents I was tired of little silverware and I took mine back to the drawer and exchanged it for "BIG"silverware. I felt as proud as I could, and my parents just watched me like I was a moron,
I now eat with nothing but big forks!
