How to Use a Spoon.

For those who might not already know how to use a spoon....

There is a true art form to using this simple eating tool, also known as.....the spoon. As you can probably see, the spoon has 2 functioning parts. The scoop (picture a), which is used to lift the food from a flat surface (in my case, it will be my "tray") to your mouth. And the handle (picture b), which functions as the grip, making the actual "scooping" of the food a simple and safe (to help prevent you from biting yourself while eating) for even the novice spoon user. (picture c)

Hmmm....well, I....yes, yes, yes....well, if the spoon doesn't "scoop" the food as quickly as you might like, or, as is my particular case, your fine-motor skills haven't quite developed so as to make the actual application of the tool effiicient, it is considered socially appropriate to just grab the food and stuff it in your mouth. The key element being that you're able to do so while still holding the spoon tightly in your non-dominant hand. (picture d).

However, if you find that the food on your flat surface, in my case, once again, my tray, is just too delectable not to shove down your face with both hands, it is deemed socially acceptable as long as you keep your spoon within reach at any given moment (in case you decide to return to the spoon to regain your social elite status)
