Plastic Spoons

Meerkat: What did you do with the plastic spoons, where did you put them? [maniacally flying around kitchen, madly pulling out drawers] Pug: I don't know. [reading, distracted] Meerkat: I thought you put them somewhere. [relentlessly searching] Pug: They're either in the back of that drawer or the other drawer. Why do you need a plastic spoon? Meerkat: Because when I'm eating yogurt with a metal spoon I can taste the metal. Pug: You are so weird. Meerkat: I just really don't like eating yogurt when I can taste metal. Plastic is so much better. It has a neutral taste. Pug: I just can't believe you are so weird. Meerkat: Here they are, I found them. Pug: [ignores comment, realizes internally she  did  put the spoons in that drawer, but will not admit it to Meerkat - annoyed because trying to read a book and knows it's pointless to respond because both know she moved the spoons, forgot, and didn't 'fess up] Meerkat
