My son especially loved the hashi for their resemblance to swords. And the server also gave them the rubber thingy that makes them more manageable. IN MY DAY...we had to struggle with the chopsticks! We at only the 1% that didn't fall off the sticks! We didn't ask for a fork and we suffered with the awkwardness and We Liked It. WE. LOVED. IT. It's a golden age to be a kid :-).

I also have heard a friend say that one is like none and two is like twenty when he had his second child. (I know one is really not like none, I'm just quoting him--he must have meant comparatively?) I love sushi too. I also know what you mean about husbands being oblivious sometimes. :) A Japanese consultant I met called them “Kaizen” chopsticks (meaning “continuous improvement”).

Last night we went out for pho and I had vermicelli noodles everywhere. R, who is a slow eater at the best of times, usually gives up with his chopsticks about 1/2 way through the meal when everyone else has finished their food and is waiting for him. Sounds like you had a fun, albeit not very quiet, evening. I’ve used chopsticks for several years and I’m still pathetic with them.
