Just Ask Georgia: 3/1/2023

Georgia, I have a question,

Do the British use forks or is there some kind of England-ish utensil akin to chopsticks? I’m going on vacation to Venice soon and don’t want to look stupid when I eat.

Chopstick Challenged

Dear Challenged,

I feel that this question is the least of your issues. Use a fork, just as you do in the USA. FYI - Venice is in Italy, not England. Make sure you check your boarding pass to make sure you actually know where you are headed.

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

Am I older than my “older”sister? She was born in 1992 and I was born in 1998. Am I older than her or not, since my year I was born is bigger, but hers is longer? I’m a girl if that helps?

The OLDER sister

Dear Sister,

Oh, boy. Where do I begin? Well, no, you are not the older of the two of you. Depending on what month you both were born, your sister is either 30 or 31, you are 24 or 25. Which of those numbers is larger?

Also, I don’t know what on Earth you are talking about that her date is “longer” and why would it matter if you are girl?

I worry for you, and for your offspring.

With love, Georgia
