1. Notice how fastidious she is about not spilling or leaving any hanging on her face.

2. Not sure you'd see many kids her age handle a fork or spoon that well.

Her hand, eye, mouth coordination is excellent for her age.

3. It would be excellent for MY age!

4. These babies are born with these skills.

Which is why others have such trouble handling chopsticks.

5. Chopsticks hell, I can barely handle a fork. And it's likely to end up on the floor

6. Chopsticks: the lower one is stationary, the upper one you hold and manipulate like

a pencil. Really, it's easy.

8. Ya beat me to it. Yup, it's easy when you know how.

9. I understand HOW they work, but I've just never been dexterous enough to get them to work.

7. I learned in college

I was dating a guy whose roommate's dad had been agricultural ambassador to Taiwan. The roommate learned as a kid and I have memories of him squatting on his heels eating with chopsticks. He taught me. I still use mine a lot and have a pretty pair.
