I sat in King Wahum's restaurant with a friend, and I thought

"Yeah, I can do this. I've eaten noodles before with a fork!"

Only, my ego had taken over, and I didn't realize that this would be a proper Chinese restaurant with chopsticks!

I had never eaten noodles with chopsticks before! I had always used a fork, but my friend was from China, so I thought it would be good to give it a go.

"Will I need a bib for this?" I asked my friend.

"Ha! You're not a baby!" my friend told me, laughing.

I sat there staring at my noodles and chopsticks for hours. There was no way I was going to embarrass myself by asking the waiter for a fork!

I wasn't going to be laughed at.

"Go on, try them! It's easy!" My friend told me, picking up her noodles with her chopsticks like a pro!

So, I tried them. I tried picking them up in the same way.

I tried over fifty times before I turned to her and told her,

"I'm never trying DippyWoddyOdleNoddles ever again!"

We left the building; my ego divorcing me.

"What did you say?" she asked me.

"DippyWoddyOdleNoodles- A definition for stubborn noodles I can't eat!"

We both laughed, and I tried again,

but I never got the hang of chopsticks!
