How do kids know what to do with meat on a stick? It must be some primal code written into our DNA. We're born seeking out warmth, and milk, and meat on a stick.
The other night I set down a chicken satay skewer in front of Tai and prepared to explain to him that it is chicken that can be eaten right off the skewer. I thought I might even have to demonstrate so he'd know it was food and not a toy. But before I could even open my mouth he picked it up and started gnawing on it. In fact, the boy who is not a huge fan of chicken these days ate THREE chicken skewers, presumably because it is so fun to bite meat off of a stick.
