We ate our soup with forks. And we were grateful! – Ms. Fix-It

Favorite Thread! Have I told you guys lately how much I love you? First two replies here; then the rest of the thread after the jump!

Fixer 1L says, “Forks?!?!?! Luxury! We had to eat our broth with a tea strainer!”

Fixer Fluffy says, “Tea strainer!?!?! You were lucky to have a tea strainer! When I was young, we used to drink our broth with a rolled up newspaper. And when I say “broth” I mean “puddle water with mud”.”

Fixer surrealfarm says, “Newspaper? You had newspaper? We were so poor we had to drink our puddle water w/ mud using old McDonald’s napkins that we dug out of the dumpster!”

Fixer Alleycat says, “McDonald’s napkins??? We had Waterford crystal glasses!!! And puddle of mud??? We had this really disgusting swill. Dom something. Perignon? That sounds right.Actually, looking back, my childhood was pretty good!But Puddle of Mudd sounds better on an iPod than a McDonald’s napkin.”

Fixer Just_Some_Guy says, “Napkins, ohhh what we would have given for napkins from a dumpster. We had to get up, 2 hours before we went to bed, swim across the lake, cut down a tree, using nothing but our fingernails, carry the tree twice the distance, back across the lake, convince a beaver to chew on the log until we had tooth picks, and THEN we could use the tooth picks to reach down into the storm drain and soak up some water.”

Fixer timbenzidrene says, “Toothpicks? Yew waer Lucky! We used to dream of toothpicks………”

Fixer dono1 says, “Dreams? What we would have given to have had dreams!”
