I have a couple of spoons that I favor when eating my breakfast cereal. The spoons are identical twins. They weren’t custom made for my mouth, so they aren’t huge, but they’re comfortable and familiar. Sometimes I have to hunt for one. A thing gains importance when you can’t find it.
“Why do you always have to use that spoon?” asked my curious wife.
“I like the spoon,” I answered.
“It’s no better than the other spoons,” she added.
I replied, “And it doesn’t pretend it’s better than other spoons. That’s why I like it.”
