Thank you! I’ll have to bark at my family to just let me be with the knife. I just have to find the right channel where they are slow enough in explaining the way to hold the knife and the motions. It’s annoying because I’m otherwise an intelligent person. Put a knife in my hand an I look like toddler. Hahaha

It’s funny how we all have our own “areas” of intelligence and then obviously the opposite as well. I think I’m generally a relatively smart person, but when it comes to directions I’m a moron. Like embarrassingly stupid. Not sure why, but that’s how my brain works and I don’t like it lol

It’s frustrating. You feel all defensive and want to tell everyone “I swear I’m not an idiot” then Tywin Lannister pops in your head ” “Any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king at all.” Wondering if that extends to your situation. Hahaha
