My Grandma’s Spoon
Remember that shovel that had been used to plant 90,000 trees? Well, this is a teeny-tiny version of that: a spoon that has been used to stir coffee for nearly 50 years. This person’s grandmother has always had a favorite spoon that she uses to stir cream and sugar into her coffee. We all have a favorite spoon, don’t we? I wonder what mine’s going to look like in 40 years or so.
And over the span of 45 years, the spoon began to change shape! It’s crazy how repetitive movements like this one or the worn-down floor around the barber chair earlier in the article can create such large differences over time. While you can’t observe the difference right away, it becomes obvious once enough time has passed!
