Boys to Men Volume 4 - a democracy

I LOVE being the Boss.  I suppose anyone that knows me even a little has easily sensed my type A/Red personality.  Sigh.
Well being the boss at Stanley and Sons headquarters isn't always glamorous, well paying, or even highly respected.  If only the subordinates were more easily bent to my will. 
But now. . . in one way, I have bent to the will of the people.  The teenage boy people.

Let me 'splain   . . .
When moving to Arizona, we started over, with almost everything.  Furniture, bedding, decor, pots and pans, the list goes on.  One item, way down on the list, was the silverware drawer organizers.  They get old, dingy looking, and scuffed, and I couldn't bear to put the old, used one, in my brand, spankin' new kitchen drawers.
So initially, before I had time to get a place for everything so that it could go in its newly designated place, the silverware/flatware/eating utensils (pick your title) all got dumped in one big roomy drawer.
And the dish-doers liked it.  They REALLY liked it.  Just dump and your done.
So as the weeks progressed, and the drawer organizer was still low on the list, the boys came to a decision.
They felt, as the most frequent doers of the dishes, that they would like to boycott the organizer permanently.
Well I ask you, fellow homemakers who may ever read this, or not, would you cave to such demands.
I decided rather quickly, why not?
It isn't that hard to find the individual forks, spoons, or knives we needed for our own or shared meals, so what is the big deal?
And so it remains, as long as I can stand it.  

We had lots of company the last couple of weeks, and got several surprised and perplexed comments, the best one being "It's like a church kitchen",  but it is working for us.  And it isn't very often a suggestion of the pubescent is actually realistically applied to any situation so it is a win for them.  

By the way - the rogue measuring spoons do NOT go in this drawer.  Forks, spoons, and knives only.  We even had a family night game to practice putting all the dishes in the right drawers and cupboards.  Grrrrrrr.
At least they are doing the dishes, most of the time. :)
