The Knife Mystery

Translated from Dutch. View the original post here

Twenty years ago, my grandmother and my mother gave me a nice 30 piece silver-colored cutlery set when I left the house to live on myself.
Over the years I have bought some cheap cutlery in order to provide everyone with cutlery during parties. In short, in my cutlery tray lies enough.

Until two weeks ago, there was something mysterious with my knives for a long time. They disappeared and sometimes turned up in a different form after a long time suddenly. I didn't understand anything. I might have thrown away a few by accident over the years?

#didyouknow where our knives left off and whose knives are? I asked my husband and children. They looked at me questioning and meaningless. My husband reassured me by saying that I had enough of them and that they would probably come up on their own. I didn't understand anything. Of the beautiful knives I once got from my mother and grandmother there were three left, the rest was silver but did not belong. I didn't understand how I got these people and why I hadn't noticed it before.

Maybe because I put the cutlery in the dishwasher and because of that, the people don't have in my hand anymore?

The riddle remained until last week. Our youngest daughter had a vacation and went to work with her father. In the warehouse she helped paint and carry. At some point I got an app with a picture; I know where your knives went.. In the kitchen of the drawer in the warehouse, my knives flaunted among hundreds of other knives. When I confronted my husband, he reacted innocently. “Oh, yeah, I sometimes bring a knife from home for my bread while I'm on the road. If I clear my bus, I'll put everything in the warehouse. But I always take one back.” He smiles proudly.

I wonder the wives of my husband's colleagues, perhaps also suffer from the knife mystery.
