Chuck Norris fact of the day . . .

Chuck Norris eats rice with toothpicks.


Kankuro decided to challenge us to a rice eating competition.

Whoever could eat their rice the fastest would have all their chores done by the other siblings.

Gaara and I reluctantly agreed. . . well reluctantly agreed after Kankuro begged us to compete with him because he was bored.

We were allowed to eat with whatever utensil we wanted to use.

Kankuro chose chopsticks.

Gaara chose a fork.

I chose the spoon.

Somehow . . . Gaara and I ended up being tied for the win; we finished the exact same time.

Kankuro barely got through a quarter of his bowl by the time we finished.

Now he's stuck doing both mine and Gaara's chores for the rest of the day.

Victory is sweet.
