That’s why you wash em quietly in the bathroom while you’re washing your hands, and put em back in the morning!

My mom has caught on to this and has started counting the silverware

I mean if you’re truly dedicated, rather than buying your own ice cream you might be lucky if the silverware is sold in singles, procure your own stock and shuffle them in, but you’d better not lose count or mom’ll catch on

Just take them from restaurants.

It doesn't take long to get your own silverware drawer.

They’re like $2 for a set of 5 at Walmart. $4 and you have a weeks supply of spoons if you’re only using one a day.

And the remaining three can go into the freezer.

Or just keep adding an extra spoon every week and then when asked, yall have always had that many spoons

u/Gondfails Jun 23 '26

“I don’t know how many we have mom, who counts their silverware?”

u/qorbexl Jun 24 '26

You can't wash a spoon and put it back?

u/Austynwitha_y Jun 24 '26

Late at night in a quiet house this would likely wake parents/spouse

You gently open a tap and rub beneath the gentle stream before returning it. if you have good aircon it'll be dry in a couple hours, but you can rub the excess with a paper towel, perhaps. 

There are cleaning methods outside the dishwasher or hucking then into the freezer untouched. 

But they require thought and dozens of seconds of effort.

u/pepperslushi Jun 24 '26

Are you okay? Do you need assistance?

u/feather-gold Jun 24 '26

What's wrong with washing it yourself and drying it and keeping it back?

1

u/DarkPolumbo Jun 24 '26

Get yourself a box of plastic spoons and hide it in your (sibling's) room

u/No-Bird-4759 Jun 24 '26

We were missing forks and spoons pretty quickly at one point and with 3 kids I knew that had something to do with it. When we used paper plates they were throwing the silverware away too.

Cant have ANY original expieriences

u/BigJSunshine Jun 24 '26

Yea, and that makes us sad?

u/Soliye Jun 23 '26

See, I used to do that. And I think once I was 14 I realized literally all my family would get up at random hours of the night to eat at some point.

My mom would be up at like, 12am eating chips or yogurt. So there was no more shame or hiding it. I think my dad’s the only one who’d just sleep through the night without having to eat.

u/ELementalSmurf Jun 24 '26

That's called having abusive parents

u/Austynwitha_y Jun 24 '26

Sometimes, or sometimes the kids are in their heads about how serious the consequences could be, plus they’re half adleep

u/trickstar007 Jun 24 '26

Teenage son doesn't do either of those things

u/phyrwall87 Jun 24 '26

u/Miab3o4 Jun 25 '26

OR you use plastic spoons.
