There are two types of people in the world. Note: both are having a bad day. The first type is the type who drops the spoon in the beans, which sucks, and then uses a utensil to grab the spoon. The second type is the type who drops the spoon in the beans, which sucks, and then grabs the spoon with their hand, burning themselves, which sucks even more. There's a lesson there. Once things are going bad, they don't get better. They can only get worse. No one has ever dropped their spoon in the beans and then found a million dollars. It just doesn't happen.
Honestly, that spoon wasn't formidable enough to take on that pot. They were asking for this to happen. I get it though. I came from a family who would use one fork to cook everything.
