In order to ensure our proficiency in the skill of chopsticking, my chef set out two plates today-- the first with 7 pieces of oddly cut carrots, 7 dry pinto beans, and 1 tiny bean, the second plate was for moving all the objects on the first plate to with a pair of chopsticks. Each person got up in front of the class and was timed. Our times ranged from 21 seconds to 2:59 min. The fastest person received a pair of beautiful blue chopsticks and made an acceptance/thank you speech to the class.
I had one of those goofy smiles on my face that is summoned only when one is allowed to indulge in the kind of fun that is so simple and pure we could never plan for it.
