      Mine was seriously using a cheese knife to spread butter on Sunday. But he’s only 4 so I’ll cut him some slack :D

        Haha. Mistakes happen at that age but if it continues you need to rip it out of his tiny little hand.

      Plus = That will help improve her fine motor strength

      (And the cheese will still taste the same, right?!) 😬

      No utensil related outrage comes close, to me, as people using FORKS to eat RICE. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE LOGIC OF IT TO ME WHEN SPOONS EXIST

          Next thing people will use knives to eat soup. 15 or so years since I first moved here and it still irritates me. I will die on this hill

            Rice on its own. There’s no excuse. Use a spoon. If it’s a side dish like with chicken kiev knife and fork.

              Okay so this is the first I’m hearing of eating chicken kiev with rice. I would still use a fork and spoon, and a knife just to cut up the Kiev.

              People eating rice and curry with a fork: what is wrong with you

            I was at a place that sells Hainan Chicken rice and they give me, an East Asian, a knife and fork for it. I asked for spoon and chopsticks.
