Too Many Knives
by johannespunkt
This family has too many kitchen knives. They are all subtly varied, but that does not change the fact that there are too many of them. They are all branded knives, from three different companies. I think Mother had a set, and that Father brought a set when he moved in, and I think some relative gave us another full set for some anniversary or other. There is actually not enough space in the drawer for all the knives, so some of them are always in the sink. But the good news? No-one will notice if one knife goes missing.

What will dear old mum and dad not notice is missing? <— What I ask myself every time I'm about to leave my parents' house, stuffing bread, biscuits, toothpaste, tins of soup etc into my suitcase. I draw the line at cutlery. Most of the time.
Come on, it’s the university student’s prerogative.
They notice, and then they smile and shake their heads.
Well, I once accidentally left behind a tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. They definitely noticed that. D : <
And by ‘noticed’ you mean ‘devoured’?
They texted me pictures of the empty tub, the sadists.
Bwahahaha.
Er.
I mean, my deepest condolences.
