Growing up I had this set of stainless steel Disney flatware, which was always a sentimental little slice of my unusual childhood. When my kids were ready to move beyond shoving the food in their mouths with fingers, I asked my mom to send them to me.
A few months down the track (that's Australian for "down the road") one of the pieces was mutilated by my garbage disposal, and I was pretty devastated. But being the internet whore that I am, I went on eBay and found replacements.
The point of all this reminiscing is that, in my nanny-smoking-cigarettes-in-the-house story, (posted a few days ago) I forgot to mention the straw that broke the Camel Lights back...
When I went rubbish bag diving to find the cigarette butts she idiotically left in her room, I mean come on-- leaving them in your room??? anyway, guess what I found -- my freaking Donald Duck spoon. Who knows if I could have gotten past the smoking bit, but tossing my Donald spoon out?
If that spoon went missing, I probably would have spent months searching every corner of this place looking for it, and I would not be happy
Wow, the drama.

I used to have like this spoons from disney.....long time ago
Everyone should have these spoons and forks.
I think we had those too!!!
Or maybe we used them at your house when we were kids?????
2 things: 1. "you" did not have a set of stainless steel disney utensils. "we" did. 2. and i am little mad that you have them.
do i get them for the 2nd half of our adult lives? how can we make this work for the both of us? i'm not kidding.
Hey, that's my spoon set too! I can't believe I forgot about them.
I had those forks and spoons too! Thanks for the childhood reminder. Wonder what ever happened to them. :-)
Tors & Erin- I had no idea this many people could have had these-- I should have been tipped off by the fact that I replaced them on ebay.
she must be a brave 20 yr old. really, who would ever throw that out? you probably even kept the mangled one too, right? i had Whinnie the Poo cutlery. I know, not as cool, but i was more about the Poo (hehe, now i just have to put something about wii-ing, oh wait, i am just too good...)
its a good thing you fired her. i can't wait to get on with the rest of the story- did she hire a new nanny? edge of my seat!!
