Another Silly Saturday Story

Today is Silly Saturday thanks to my blogger friend Kebba who came up with this idea. Silly can be funny and silly pictures, a silly quote or even a silly story. Today I’m sharing another Silly Saturday story.

My daughter and son-in-law gave me a beautiful set of flatware for Christmas. I was excited to remove the old and put in the new. I cleaned out the drawer and ended up with three small boxes that the new flatware was in and since I had a ton of plastic spoons and forks in the drawer I put them in one of the smaller boxes to store for when needed.

It was then that Chris told me that Alli uses plastic ware for her children all the time so I came up with the idea to fill the inner boxes with plastic and give to Alli. Then Bryon came up with this idea. He took two plastic forks, a spoon, a knife and to fill the fifth spot he added a spork, Then I got as many plastic spoons and forks that I could find and he filled two the the smaller boxes. What to do with the third? We filled it with napkins! I like to come up with “unusual gifts” but then have something totally different inside the box.

Chris started laughing and said she couldn’t wait until Alli opens the box, she figured Alli would text her and ask why gram gave her plastic ware. Chris had concocted a story about me not having a good year, getting older, I couldn’t get out shopping, money was tight, etc. and was going to tell her to just say thank you. It was all Chris, Bryon and I could do to keep a straight face and not burst out in laughter when Alli opened the box.

Alli opened that package and with a big smile she said, “Oh I love plastic forks and spoons for the kids.” I looked over at Chris, we both shrugged, where was the text that we thought Alli would send? So I told Alli to open the box and she says, “Oh that’s right you like to put something else in boxes.” As she opened the individual boxes she was overjoyed to see all the plastic forks and spoons. She thought that was really her gift! So again I looked at Chris, the joke was on us, not Alli! Now we all started laughing as we told Alli what we thought she would do and she said, “why would I do that, I love plastic ware!”

After everything was opened Chris gave Alli one last gift, it was a box of the same flatware that she gave me but Alli was still excited over the plastic ones. I told her I know what to get her next year and I’m already saving a stash of plastic forks and spoons. LOL

I hope my Silly Saturday story about plastic ware made you laugh and now go and enjoy your weekend!
