I'm loving the super creative responses. Some are lyrical and mysterious, others are hilarious. Do join in and please let your friends know about this.
And here's prompt #3 The spoon runs away with the fork leaving the knife all alone. Is she jealous/forgiving/relieved? How does it all end?

All three were great friends until the night of the festival dance when spoon ran off with fork. Knife realised she was better off without them. Giving bread a massage of margarine late one evening she met a new member to the neighbour hood. Soon spoon and fork became a distant memory.

I see this one as a perfect vehicle to teach kids about divorce or just explaining how people just make choices for many reasons. The spoon runs away with the fork so they can toss salad together. They both love tossing salad. They work well together. The spoon is very proud of the fork and teaches the toddler how to eat goodies, preparing her for grownup eating using the fork. The spoon assures the child that he will stick around in case needed for help eating desserts. The knife is aggressive and moody and always cutting things up. Sometimes it's even dangerous. It has to be put back into the kitchen drawer for a time out. When the child gets older it finds where the spoon and fork were hiding and reunites them all at a pork chop and veggie and bread and butter dinner where each utensil does his job beautifully. Everyone makes up in the dishwasher after dinner.

Oh, I love this one. Thought it would be too preachy at first, but no!

I thought we were best friends. We did everything together. Danced in the dishwasher. Giggled on the napkin. Teased fork for that crazy hair. His crazy hair. That's what got her attention. Spoon loved fork's hair. The wedding was great. I was her Knife of Honor... more giggles, dancing, and teasing.

The knife is relieved. He is a loner. He never played well with the fork and spoon. They could pick things up and he could only cut or stab. He was much more aggressive than the two other utensils and always felt he wasn't an essential utensil. The spoon and fork could be used independently, but could the knife? He was having many self-doubts. The knife was depressed. He never fit in and spent many hours isolating himself from others...much like writers. Is it any wonder he used his blade to hurt himself?
