Making Salad

Today we went to visit Sandy, the lady with the blind kids. I volunteered to help her with breakfast and I am usually assigned to make the salad which you would think would be fairly simple.

Today I was sitting there using a dull knife blade that actually didn't have a handle clumsily trying to peel carrots and cucumbers. I began to draw a crowd of kids but they weren't just staring like normal, they were staring with these confused looks on their faces.

Finally one little girl says in the cutest little voice 'Mommy, I've never seen anyone cut vegetables like that. What is she making?'

Here I am trying to cut vegetables like the locals do. I've seen them do it a million times and I actually thought that I was doing a very good job at doing it their way...until even the little kids were wondering what was going on. Talk about feeling like an idiot!!!
