Well, maybe not your kid, but my mom used to whip that utensil drawer open so fast, spatulas flying everywhere, so she could wield that spoon menacingly and get my brother back in line. I think I "tasted" that spoon once. Maybe twice. My brother was a slow learner, apparently. Fast forward 12 years and my brother goes off to college. My mother decides to redecorate the kitchen while he's gone. She buys wooden spoons 10 for a buck and proceeds to glue flowers, ribbons, ladybugs and the like to the spoons and glue them onto all her cupboard doors. My brother came home for Thanksgiving and he nearly went into convulsions at the site of all the spoons in such easy reach. True story! He wouldn't even let his bride register for them when he got married last year! Smart little boy you've got there... fortunately he won't have a wooden spoon complex when he grows up! ;) I’ll tell you what they’re for – whacking your kid with!

I never do find out the answers, but it's neat to look back over them. I keep a little notebook in my purse and write down all of the questions like this one.

Otherwise the spoon would dissolve into the lemonade, and ruin the taste. Lemonade with a hint of cedar. Lemonade with a hint of cherry. See what I mean? Well, it’s ideal that they don’t.
