Chickadee: No. It was just broken.
Me: Well, I’m sorry about that. Were you able to eat your yogurt?
Chickadee: Yep, C. gave me her spork.

Monkey: What’s a spork?
Me: SPORK!
Chickadee: It’s what comes with hot lunch.

I thought mine was the only school district cheap enough to use sporks! I don’t dare call the pointy things pricks — I teach science, including (gulp) sex ed.

The spork is the greatest invention EVER. Also, the Snorks is the greatest cartoon about underwater creatures EVER.
