A few weeks ago a woman I used to work with stopped at my table at an outdoor cafe' while I was having a cup of coffee. I sat at a tiny metal table with mismatched chair. It was almost noon, a little warm, but the gentle breeze made me sit outside.
I had almond biscotti in my hand ready to dunk into my coffee. If you love dunking a biscuit or biscotti in your coffee, you know you need a full concentration to get the job done. No other thought to distract you. No small talk. You missed one second, you'll get your biscotti amputated.
You always think you can beat it with your fast move, bringing the soggy part to your mouth, but the fast move you think is sleek is hazardous move, a kamikaze actually. The moment you flick your wrist, turning your thumb and forefinger that hold the end part of biscotti upward, you are doom. The worst part is when the soggy part doesn't fall back into your drink, but on the front of your dress. I hate that.
So, the next time when you are dunking, try to resist for a few seconds from looking at whoever stops at your table like I did. You'll thank me.
