The Ladle That Got Away

Authors Note: This is a story about a ladle named Larry :)          

Larry the ladle hated his job. Every day he was repeatedly dunked into various bowls of hot soup. Compared to Larry, other utensils had it easy, it’s not like they have to get drowned in steaming containers of gross broth and vegetables. One of the things Larry hated the most though, was that even though there were 7 other ladles to choose from, Janet the lunch lady always chose him. And the worst part was, she never washed him! Not once! She believes that “A clean ladle equals bad soup.” I don’t even know how she came up with that conclusion. Oh, and by the way, I’m Lenard, Larry’s un-identical twin brother. That means that we don’t look alike, which we obviously don’t because, I’m a fork. But anyways, back to Larry, so one day he got so fed up with Janet and her disgusting ways, he left. Just like that. Once he was back in his drawer, he somehow managed to get it open, then, Larry just rolled away, not taking a thing with him. Pretty sad, huh? I don’t really miss him that much though, he was always complaining.
