I lost my can opener. I miss my can opener! I had Pampered Chef's awesome can opener. It was a smooth-edge can opener.
It works different than a normal can opener. You cut the can from the top. There are no sharp edged. I loved my can opener. Quick story. When I had Ariana my Mom came to stay with the kids and help out. We had only been in Utah and our new house a month. She settled my kitchen, unpacked boxes and took care of all the kids. She also had to feed our dog Charlie. In order to do that she had to open a can of dog food. My poor mom couldn't figure out how to work the can opener so she took the can to the neighbors and asked for help! We laughed about the story when she was here and I had Tori.
Well, back to the missing can opener. I think it might have accidentally been thrown in the trash. I can't send Nik to Marci's house everyday to borrow her can opener so today I finally bought a cheap one in hopes of finding mine someday. Nik had to open a can today and couldn't figure out how to use it. He was putting it on the top when it needed to go on the side. I told him Mom's story and we had a good laugh!

That is SOOO funny! I “lost” mine on a Sunday afternoon, just as I was trying to make Sunday dinner. I had three or four cans to open and had to resort to puncturing the lid several times and try to pry it off. We said a prayer and I found our miniature one and was able to get the job done. The next day I found it down in Larry’s office in a cupboard. What is up with that? On a side note, we couldn’t find our remote one day, and William told us the next day that he put it in the pantry. Yikes! If only I could get inside my kids’ heads…what a ton I would learn, right?
Yes, I remember that. I took the can opener to the neighbors so they could show me how to work it. They couldn’t figure it out either. But they opened the can for me with their own can opener.
