| I'm a pro at using chopsticks |
Okay, I know exactly what you're thinking. You're saying to yourself: "She can't possibly know how to use chopsticks with her feet...can she?
Let's just say...you might be right. So what? I can't use them with my feet. Not yet at least. After all, it did take me what felt like a century to learn how to use them with my hands. Here's the timeline in a nutshell:
Tried using chopsticks with hands years ago. Didn't work. Gave up. Picked it back up again. Gave up again. Saw that my sister Madi could use them well. Thought how could this be?? Tried again. Got frustrated but didn't show it. Travelled to Beijing, China. Realized I had to somehow eat the food sitting in front of me. Picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating like a pro.
So what's the lesson learned here??? Well it's very simple. If you want to learn how to use chopsticks you must physically go to China and be forced to eat with nothing but chopsticks. NO FORKS ALLOWED! Well, you could always use your hands but that's just not a good look now is it?
So in order to learn how to use chopsticks with my feet I must now pack my bags and head back to the hustle and bustle of Beijing. You watch. I'll be using them with my feet in no time ;)
P.S. Just want to congratulate all of you who learned how to use chopsticks in the US! Really solid job guys! And oh yeah, great job Madi for being a pro at such an early age! You go girl!!
