Pizza

A cousin of mine has a child who has been identified as autistic. One of the giveaway traits, among several, was that he does not like to eat messy food, does not like to get his hands dirty. He will eat toast and pop tarts all day, but isn't interested in pizza, wet cereal, etc.

I didn't really think this is odd. But I also did not really think that I was odd, until I realized tonight that I'm sitting in my own home eating supper (pizza) wearing a clear plastic glove - the kind kitchen workers wear.

I don't do it in pizza parlors. But when I thought about it, I have been eating pizza with a fork. I did eat chicken wings the other night with my hands, but there's so little meat on a chicken wing it's hard to eat it any other way.

I don't think I eat all my handsy food at home with a glove. But I did tonight. Odd.
