Dear Holly,

I was in 5th grade the first time I ever heard of sushi. And here you are now in 5th grade: You’ve not only heard of sushi, but you have it at least one a week…

Whether it’s at the nearby Asian restaurant Toke, which just happens to be owned by our next door neighbor, or from one of the grocery stores in town where they actually make the sushi there… sushi is on regular rotation for you.

What’s most interesting about this to me is that you effortlessly use chopsticks to eat the sushi. No one taught you how.

I still haven’t figured out how to use chopsticks… and I spent two summers in Thailand!

Love,

Daddy
