Too Much

We're having a block party in our neighborhood a week from Saturday. Our contribution to the gathering is going to be plastic silverware. Which is fine.

Yesterday I stopped by Costco to get, no surprise, diapers and formula. A perfect time to pick up the plasticware.

Here's what I found: a box of 500 plastic spoons, a box of 500 plastic knives and a box of 500 plastic forks. I almost bought them. But then I thought, what the heck was I going to do with 500 forks? Even if everyone at the party took a bite of food with one fork, threw it out and used a new fork for the next bite, I'd still have maybe 350 forks left over.

Don't even get me started on plastic knives. Is there anything more useless? And I'd have 500 of them!

I guess I'll go somewhere else. I'll be back to Costco for more diapers though--we really need to buy them in bulk!
