Chopsticks

Today was Christmas eve. So, naturally, us not being french Canadian and all, we had one of my favorite adopted traditions: "Le bouche de nöel". My sister decided to pull something a little silly and eat her cake with her "white man chopsticks", two thin flat strips of bamboo joined at top to create a sort of pincer. I scoffed at her, so she challenged me to eat mine with actual chopsticks. So I accepted her challenge and set to my task. To my great surprise, I was able to use my chopsticks successfully,  even easily. My sister, Still not impressed, challenged me to use actual chopsticks any time she used her white man chopsticks, so that we could see who would last longer. It's so on.
