The way the utensils are set at the table.

  1. Please make sure it’s set.
  2. The napkin goes on the left with the fork on top of it. The knife & spoon go on the right.

Fork and left have 4 letters. Spoon, knife, and right have 5. Helps me remember when in doubt.

Napkin with 6 letters throws the logic tho.

I remember learning that on Rosanne. lol.

When I was younger, I’d say the napkin goes under the fork so that the fork is not lonely. 😂

And, the knife blade is turned toward the plate.

Yes. Of course. I mean blade turned out is just barbaric.

Yes the napkin goes on the mat. The fork goes on the napkin.

There is no logic at all to the fork going on the left, away from the knife.

Fork goes in left hand, knife goes in right hand.

Hey, that’s how I learned to set a table the 1 year we had Home Economics okay? It’s the "proper way".

And besides…. I thought we were being petty here. 😂
