Noodles without manners



One summer day, one of my nephews didn’t like the food prepared for lunch. He wanted to eat instant noodles instead. His mom was sitting beside him allowed him to prepare his noodles but said he still had to eat rice no matter what. To oblige, he took a plate and put some rice on it and added the noodles and the soup as viand. Since he didn’t cut the noodles, whenever he puts a spoonful of rice and noodles in his mouth, the noodles would hang from his mouth and had to slurp it.


His mom didn’t like the sound of his slurping and told him to stop doing it. He took another spoonful, again, the noodles were hanging from his mouth and had to slurp it. His mom told him, again, to stop it. He was trying to minimize the noise but does not know how. I saw his dilemma and told him to use his spoon correctly. What I meant was make sure all the noodles inside the spoon before he puts it inside his mouth. Unfortunately, that’s not how he understood it and again, made a slurping sound.

His mom got mad and told him he’s being punished and cannot play computer nor watch tv for the whole afternoon. His eyes became watery and keeps on saying “ but I’m eating noodles”! His mom just said, “ but you should not slurp at all”, glaring at him.

He just kept quiet, with tear rolling from his eyes mumbling “now I know why some people say the Chinese have no manners! They eat NOODLES!”

His mom, who was so mad wanted to laugh at his comment. He just made a joke and he didn’t even know it. All she could do was crack a sly smile :D
