I bought my family chopsticks this weekend, and so far, Catalina has successfully used hers to pick up the fresh tomatoes we eat every day. Pretty impressive for a first-timer.
Valentina is still working on it, and Ion hasn’t yet tried. I told them it’ll get easier when we eat noodles or rice – more Chinese-style food.
Originally, I was trying to teach Catalina using two forks – more to prove chopsticks actually worked than to actually teach her. Luckily, I found 20 chopsticks at a grocery store called the Hypermarket for about 10 lei, or less than $1.
