drabble day 5 - who stole the plate and the spoon?

my grandfather told me that a long time ago, the moon was close. so close that if you could leap high enough, you might get caught in its gravity and pulled away from the earth.

that must be where the expression, "the cow jumped over the moon" comes from because, back then, it would have been possible.

but that still leaves the mystery of what a dog sounds like when he laughs, and who stole the plate and the spoon, and what were they having for dinner that would stay on a plate, but need a spoon to scoop up?
