You didn't have to be nice. Just look at my friend who runs a nuclear reactor! ;)
Taking blood from birds sounds ... difficult.
I know how to use chopsticks, I will teach you. Although I have to warn you that my parents laugh at the way I use my chopsticks... but hey, I can get food from my plate to my mouth, and that's really all that matters, right? ;)
Well I am proud of being able to talk confidently about sports with anyone, it wasn't totally me being nice. ;-) It was between that and reciting the alphabet backwards, which I can also do. ;-) It is not too hard to take blood from birds once you know how. I've successfully taught a few people to do it.
Yi, I would appreciate any help you can give me, as I definitely can NOT get the food to my mouth! ;-) In return I can teach you to make a wonderful chocolate chip cookie. :-)
Deal :)
See you on Friday!
