Chopsticks

I have a tough time using chopsticks. To eat with, of course. Case in point,hmmmm. My sons took me to a sushi restaurant recently and chopsticks were the weapon of choice. The only weapon. I messed it up badly. I have a hard time getting them closed tightly enough to hold the food and sometimes they slip (or spin out of control) and I loose the food. Sometimes it goes airborne. Sometimes it lands on the floor. So, I now have "practice chopsticks" at my house and I am trying to get better at using them. I practice often. It's all in the grip. I haven't found my grip, yet, but I'm trying. The thing is, I really don't want to look like an old fuddy-duddy when I'm out with the boys (my kids) and I need to keep adding new things to my life's repertoire. So mastering the chopsticks is my new hobby/task. Sad, isn't it?
