The Dirty Spoon

I left a dirty spoon on the dresser. (Don't ask. I was clearing it to the kitchen, got distracted by something, and there it was.)

Amelie found it first.

Now, if I had noticed it first, I would have cleared it to the kitchen immediately. Isaac probably would have cleared it eventually after passing it a few times. Elizabeth would probably point out how silly it was to have a spoon on the dresser, then would clear it when asked.

But Amelie found the dirty spoon first. With delight, she cried, "A poon!" Then she grabbed it emphatically, popped it in her mouth, and licked it clean.

I love that girl.
