Heh, I couldn't pick up rice for more than 10 seconds, even if my life depended on it. :)

When I was little, I didn't know what chopsticks were, so if I had a piece of chicken or something, I would stab it with just one chopstick and eat it like it was chicken on a stick. lol

LOL. I did that, but the chicken slid down, since the hole was too big. >_<
It became a greasy mess.

Not really =/
I sort of can, but I hold the chopsticks a weird way so it just falls back down when I pick it up.

Oh well.

Define eat with chopsticks. I can eat with chopsticks, I just don't hold them right. Then again I do hold my pencil awfully funny and people ask me how I can write the way I do.

I been eating with chopsticks since i was a kid. My parents couldn't afford silverware so my Dad wittled sticks and decided to eat everything with chopsticks. You think rice is hard, try eating Thanksgiving turkey with them. Oh just kidding. I eat chinese with chopsticks all the time and I can pick up rice just fine. I am pro at it and people at the restraunt look at me weird when I do eat with chopsticks. They give me a look like 'Hey this is the modern times dude, get with it!'

Every once and a while, my family will go to a chineese place so we can get chineese food. I always ask for chopsticks. They rarely have them. But, when they do, i'll try to eat rice with them. It only takes about an hour! LOL

Nope, I'm horrible at holding Chopsticks - I can't pick up anything!

It confuses me the way my family tries to teach me "No put your fingers here, no here!" Lol.

~Tink

I've been practicing for over a year now and I still can't do it!

I don't know if poking the steamed dumplings with one chopstick counts . . .

It's quite interesting, the way I hold chopsticks. When I pick things up, they both cross and form and 'X' shape.
But, when I was reading this instruction slip for chopsticks, they said you shouldn't cross it... >.<

Pft. I can eat angle-hair pasta w/ chopsticks. When I was two years old, my dad trained me w/ trainee chopsticks so I learned at an early age.
