Creating a Chain Letter

As most of you know, Steven is fascinated with silverware. Since he has mastered the art of NOT swallowing the utensils, he has moved on to incessantly tapping silverware. On any surface. When he's done, he simply throws the silverware wherever he deems appropriate.

We find silverware in random places. In the car. In the backyard. In the sink. In the bathtub. In drawers. On top of the piano. In the fireplace. In the couch. Our neighbors have even been known to find them in their yard when he throws them over the fence.

This morning, we found a new hiding place. The photo above is a picture of the kitchen ceiling light. Evidently, Steven threw a fork and this is where it landed. Kind of impressive. Troy and I discussed it and don't think either of us could aim and reach that target. So, we have decided to celebrate Steven's success rather than freak out.

It's a coping mechanism in the land of autism.

Anyways, because silverware is a hot commodity, it often gets lost. On my regular trips to Walmart, I always buy the cheap silverware. It's like a staple. You buy milk, coffee, bread and silverware. Everybody does, right?

I'm tired of buying silverware. I've decided to start a chain letter. I'm thinking of sending it to all of my relatives and having them send it to 3 other people not related to them. Each letter will say, "send one piece of silverware to the name at the bottom of the page and send this letter to 3 other people." The name and address at the bottom of EVERY letter will be Steven's name.

What do you think? We could amass huge amounts of silverware. I could host dinner parties for the entire church and we wouldn't need plastic silverware.

If it works, maybe I'll create another letter that says to send $5 to the Land of Autism Charity Fund and see how much money we can accumulate!!!

Who's up for getting the chain letter?
