  Argh, it’s so annoying! I didn’t buy it so long ago but I do not have the receipt.

  Does it bother you or do you judge people who do not hold their fork and knife properly?

  @JLeslie There’s no shame in your game. It’s an interesting question. We all have our foibles, and our own ideas about the nature of a foible. It is cultural. My husband is American and shovels with his fork, barely touches his knife. At first I was horrified, and I never thought such a thing would bother me – I never even considered that there was any other way of using cutlery. I’m used to it now, and actually I find it refreshing that my notion of normal can still be challenged in such ways as this. The more I travel, the more I find myself having to adjust my sensibilities. I always considered myself well mannered, but now I live in South Korea and my table manners, along with my behaviour in general, is constantly surprising and appalling to my new friends here. My husband is still disgusted by my eating ketchup on eggs and pizza, by the way.

  What do you say when someone turns you down for a date?

  You act confused, frown and say: “I’m sorry I think you misheard me. I said you look fat in those pants.” Then walk away.

  When does a child start using cutlery?

  Thanks for all the thoughts and advice. My son was happily experimenting with a yogurt yesterday and managed to dip his spoon in and get some of it in his mouth! He was delighted by our encouraging response. I don’t remember learning to use cutlery, so I must have been young. The child I know who only uses a fork eats junk food mainly (according to his aunt), and hardly ever eats anything that requires a knife. Seems sad to me.
