Eating Peaches with a Toothpick: A Demonstration

"Attention, everyone! Mom has gotten tired of washing my sticky fingers every time I eat. We've been working on spearing and eating peaches with a toothpick for a few months now, and I would like to demonstrate my mad skills. Observe."

"Note my grasp of the toothpick: delicate but strong. As you all see, I simply lower the toothpick into the bowl, and . . ."


"Ok, seriously, I lower the toothpick . . . and, barring any slippage . . . I . . . lower the . . ."



"This would probably be a good time to mention the delicate nature of this endeavor. It take a cool head and a keen eye. And a firm knowlege of non-toothpick possibilities."



"Ok, Plan B. Mom won't mind washing my fingers for the three millionth time."




"But while there's a camera here . . . I call this look 'Blue Steel.'"
