table talk: numbers game
Wondering where the utensils go? Count the letters in the words ”knife,” “spoon” and “fork” to remember their placement.
The word “right” has five letters, as do the words “knife” and “spoon.” The word “fork” has four letters – just like the word “left.”
Knives and spoons are always on the right, forks on the left.
I was initially confused as to “counting the letters of fork, knifeand spoon ,” the process could make sense….unless you had more intelligence than any one of those pieces of silverware and simply fut them in ALPHABETIC ORDER ON THE TABLE!!
