My mom literally flipped the house after she saw me drinking soup with a fork. She is expecting me to apologize, but I have no reason to apologize. Please tell me why is it "wrong" to drink soup with a fork.

How do you scoop up the soup with a fork? Or are you just drinking it directly from the plate?

Well, the soup just comes up, it is more of a semi-liquid soup, pumpkin soup.

The plate shall rule them all. But there are forkspoons which would serve the purpose quite nicely. (http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/567550310_1/Outdoor-camping-ultralight-only-weight-10g-fork-spoon-picnic-fork-spoon-99-pure-titanium-FMP-T18.jpg)

The only thing I see wrong here is saying that your mother "literally" flipped the house. Unless she is truckasaurus, that shouldn't be possible, and if she is, you're not eating right young'n.

As for the matter of whether one can eat soup with a fork, it is quite possible, and I see no problem with it. Then again, the military has inured me to seeing all manner of bizarre implements being used as dining utensils. The taxpayers kindly shell out for $5.00 plastic utensils which the cooks promptly forget or which are inexplicably lost/destroyed, and before you know it men are eating scrambled eggs by using straws as chopsticks or using the canteen cup stand as a "food-claw." It does work, should you need it spawn of truckasaurus, but I would suggest that your mother relax.

We do, but not after digging or burying the communal latrine pits, and certainly not within sight of officers. Such offenses are not punishable by house-flipping but they may flip over everything in the bivouac area and make you set it all up again.

Obvious solution is to eat the officers.
