Big scoops, big spoons

What is it about eating ice cream at home with a really big spoon that makes one feel so carefree? Is it the size of the spoon on it's own - it's ability to hold a ridiculously large amount of ice cream at once - or is it that using a big spoon makes one feel like a child again, and thus more carefree?

Does it take you back to your childhood? Did you ever scoop out your ice cream and then swirl it all together really hard to make it all smooth and creamy? That was so much easier with a big spoon!

I am convinced that no matter how dull, one's day can be made almost immediately more joyful when a bowl of ice cream is eaten with a big spoon.
