They eat oranges with a knife and fork!

I live in a girl's residence. There are only 12 or so girls here, and breakfast and dinner is included in the rent. We eat breakfast at our leisure, between 6:30 and 8:30, but dinner we eat all together. After dinner comes dessert - normally there is a choice between something sweet (tiramisu, flan, mousse) and fruit. I've always chosen the sweet option, but tonight there was only fruit. Everyone else was cutting up their orange into slices, so I did the same - it's more practical anyway. The other orange eaters then became engrossed in conversation, so I could no longer follow their lead, so I picked up my first orange slice and took a couple bites...until they started eating their orange slices with a knife and fork! They cut the orange slice free from the rind, and then again into three or so pieces. All this with butter knives. So...I followed suit. Except that everyone else is very skilled in eating oranges with a knife and fork, and I am not. So everyone else was done and I had only made it through two of my six orange slices...alas. They even gave me a steak knife to help me out (I admitted to them that I had never ever seen people eat fruit - even a banana - with a knife and fork)...next time I'll just take a kiwi!
