Chapter 26 - The ladle

I threw the original ladle away after evidence was released.

Then regretted giving it emotional importance.

Months later, I was cooking soup.

I needed a ladle.

I opened the drawer.

Nothing.

Caleb asked:

“Why don’t we have the big spoon?”

I froze.

Then laughed unexpectedly.

Because that was what it was to him.

A big spoon.

The next day I bought another one.

Stainless steel.

Almost identical.

Rachel stared when she saw it.

“You’re serious?”

“It’s kitchen equipment.”

She smiled.

“Good.”

That night I served soup with it.

Nothing happened.

Objects do not own us unless we keep giving them the story.
