Playing chopsticks

On a recent trip to a Japanese restaurant, my two-year-old daughter Leilani discovered a brand new toy: chopsticks.  Mastering chopsticks can be tricky for adults.  In a toddler's hands, anything can happen, except their intended use.

Things got off to a pretty good start.  It looked like we might even make it through the first few bites without incident.

Then Leilani decided to experiment.

Drumroll please!

Things got curiouser and curiouser.  I never thought of using chopsticks this way before.

I suppose they could make good measuring sticks...

And the perfect finale for a two-year-old using chopsticks: right in the nose!
