No Sock Monster in Our House

Nope, we have a kitchen monster. We are missing spoons, cups, bowls, measuring cups, measuring spoons, to-go containers, etc... Occasionally, we find where the sneaky kitchen monster has hidden his (or her) stash. Last week, I found a food mill in the Loquat tree, a shaker bottle in the bedroom closet and a pasta pot in the toy cabinet. I wonder if we catch the little monster if he (or she) will move on to another family? Isn't that what happened to the Shoemaker's Elves?
