Teaching the boy to fish. Cut pizza, actually

Grandboy: O wow that’s tricky.

Me: That’s ok, keep trying.

Grandboy: Ummm I don’t think it’s supposed to roll up like that (uses fingers to push it back down)

Me: Try pressing harder as you push the blade

Grandboy: It’s not sharp (rolls blade on his arm)

Me: That’s ok. It’s sharp enough.

Grandboy (now in the groove, cut, press pieces down with his fingers): Yah pushing down harder works. Cut cut push push.

Me: … (eye twitching)

Grandboy: O wow I’ll have to wash my HANDS after this.

Me: Yep. I hope you washed your hands before we started. Would you like a piece?

Grandboy: No thank you grandpa. I just wanted to see how to use the pizza cutter.

(We look at the organized carnage that used to be my gourmet pizza on the cutting board)

Me: Well it’s good to learn something new! Next time we’ll practice not separating the pieces with your fingers, yah?
