How to use Chopsticks:

How to use Chopsticks: 

  Place the first chopstick so that thicker part rests at the 
 base of your thumb and the thinner part rests on the lower side 
 of your middle fingertip. Bring your thumb forward so that it 
 traps the stick firmly in place. At least two or three inches 
 of chopstick should extend beyond your fingertip.  Relax. 
 Now position the other chopstick so that it is held against 
 the side of your index finger by the end of your thumb.  
 Tap the ends of both sticks on the plate, while holding them 
 at a slight angle to the table. Allow them to slide just a 
 little so that the ends line up. Place a little pressure on 
 the top chopstick. It will pivot on your index finger just 
 above the second knuckle. Remember: the bottom chopstick is 
 stationary. The tip of the top chopstick will move towards 
 the tip of the bottom chopstick.Encourage this. Hold those 
 tips together firmly enough to grasp a piece of food and 
 lift it off the plate. Place delicately into your waiting 
 mouth. Although there's no need to stoop, you may wish to 
 lean over your plate a bit during your first attempts. 
 It might save you a clean-up!
