Ay, Consuelo ~ it's much more complicated than that...

If you drop a spoon, a child is coming to visit.
If you drop a fork, a woman is coming to visit.
If you drop a knife, a man is coming to visit.
If any of the aforementioned implements are dirty, it means they're going to come hungry, so you should be ready to feed them!

Look at all the brain cells I've devoted to this stuff...
