Chopsticks in my car.

In the boot of my car I have

• a picnic blanket
• a rice cooker
• a basket full of sheets
• a magic eight ball [er, in case I can't decide where to go]
• a literal sack full of assorted items including sticky tape, oil face wipes and a rubber duckie
• a luggage suitcase full of year 10 textbooks
• an umbrella

In the backseat of my car I have

• a copy of Marie Claire [never-read. Hmm.]
• a sketch journal
• a pair of mickey mouse gloves
• a scarf
• DVDs including Season 1 of My name is Earl, Season 1 of Gossip Girl and a copy of Up
• a portable vacuum cleaner
• the biggest Hello Kitty head pillow.ever
  
• annnnd. a pair of takeway chopsticks.

So out of all these things that people choose to mess around with and rummage around in- the first thing they always comment on is the chopsticks. Why oh why do you have a pair of chopsticks in the backseat of your car? And I always reply alternately

"I'm digging my way to China."
"Chuck Norris gave them to me. Anything by Chuck Norris is a gift. "
" Those are not actual chopsticks, you're just imagining them."

In any case, why not keep a pair right? you know for fishing things out of cracks and poking rude hitchhikers in the eye when needed.

But seriously, you don't know how happy I was that I could run downstairs to my car this afternoon, pick up the sticks and eaaat my lunch because the dumb lady forgot to give me cutlery with my takeway.

I'm such a girl scout. Always prepared for anything.
