It would seem kind of strange to pass the utensil back and forth.
Or fight over it. Heh. It's my turn! You're hogging it!
I don't know about everyone, but I know that when I go out with
friends, if we talk about dessert, we either all order one or we
agree to split one. If no one else is getting dessert, I'm sure
not. But if there's a situation where one person didn't get any,
and there's an extra spoon brought, I don't begrudge sharing.
If the original letter writer finds themselves having this problem
all the time, to the point where they write a letter about it,
they should say If you want dessert, order yourself one, I'm not
sharing mine, then they can can sit there and eat the whole thing
while everyone else watches. I mean, chats away.
