It is always interesting for me to watch how caucasians use the chopsticks to eat because these are not their usual eating 'utensils'. Elder/Sister Ott's fingers were gripping the chopsticks, about 2 inches from the bottom. I tried that and it did seem easier to control the chopsticks. I know some children usually grip their chopsticks that way, and adults too.

Sister Ott was happy using the chopsticks throughout the lunch. She even used the chopsticks to eat the fried rice from a bowl. Well done! Elder Ott decided to switch to the spoon and fork half way through, and eat from a plate. He decided he has enough fun with the chopsticks for that meal!!
