The picture sparked comments from many parents who identified with the spatula obsession. One dad said: "My daughter loved her spatula. She would drum on everything and chew the other end. Then she hit me in the balls with it 6 hours after my vasectomy."
And he wasn't alone, another added: "Yea, my kid has a knack for turning anything into a beat-stick. Actually, more like a whack-dad-in-the-balls-stick."
Another poster said: "My almost two-year-old, too, is obsessed with spatulas. We were walking by a restaurant that had a fake dog out front. My son went to pet it and the hostess asked "what do you think the doggie's name is", so which my son replied "Spatula!"
Surfrock66 admitted: "We have ALL the expensive baby toys...light up things, button things, little tables, little carts...so far, his favorites have been Sophie, the spatula, and the dog's old tennis balls. Everything else has been mildly amused at for a few days then ignored."
Daddy-to-be Untoku was taking notes: "About to have a son. Shall now invest in spatulas. Spatulae? A spatula."
BecauseFrog added: "He has a kindred spirit - I know a kid (13 now) who's nickname is Spatula because as a toddler his security item was a spatula. Apparently, he carried it everywhere for about two years!"
