This has been bothering me in a low-key way for the better part of a year and a half whenever I think of it. I can’t stand mysteries like this.

My BF and I lived in his parents’ house for a while, and I had occasion to notice that my MIL (guess it could be FIL, but MIL is the one with the … quirks) keeps a large-ish spoon in her bathroom on the counter on a neatly-folded towel. I would never ask her why because it’s none of my business, but I just…can’t…imagine WHY the spoon is kept there, and I cannot die not knowing the purpose of the bathroom spoon.

Can anyone think of any plausible reason for the bathroom spoon?
