If I ever create a list of my favorite books that personify inanimate objects, these two would make that list!  I assigned "life" to nearly everything in my world when I was a kid, from the shampoo bottles to my playing cards.  They all had personalities, and back stories, and thoughts and wishes.

So why not eating utensils?
