Today I learned to...use chopsticks!

[lucysmam]

Much to the girls' amusement, after loads of failed attempts since they learned 🤣

Have you learned anything new today? 🍜🥢

Go you! Well done.
I still struggle with chopsticks but I keep on trying.
And no, I haven't learned anything today, sorry.

Please tell us in simple terms @lucysmam I've tried for years
Nice to see you outside of the weekend threads BTW

@HandbagsAtDawns this YT tutorial! My sushi was a bit battered from my trying but I'm very pleased to have figured them out 🤣 (and a fork worked well for the one that fell completely to bits on my plate!)

I'm pretty good with chopsticks because I used to live in China. Eating chicken wings with chopsticks? No problem! Best advice I was given on how to improve was to practice using a bowl of peanuts. Try it! 😀

I am over 50 and today learnt that telling someone “see you next tuesday” is rather rude!
I am genuinely going to see her next tuesday so thought nothing of it.

@HundredMilesAnHour I have no peanuts but do have brownie M&Ms, that could be a fun way to while away an hour tomorrow!

@lucysmam that sounds like a much better idea!

@Twospaniels that's rude????? I had no idea.

I can't use chopsticks. I've tried but I just can't. Forks were invented for good reason. Dd eats crisps with chopsticks.

If you take the sound of the first two words - C U

and then the initials of the last two words - N T

I had no idea this is a thing apparently if you say the sentence to someone you are calling them a C**T

I was horrified actually as this is a word I would never use and don’t like at all - very offensive
