Seen it?  Heck, I've made 'em!  We had eaten at a resteraunt that 
actually had chopstick/tweezer things for the kids.  The girls both 
managed to bring theirs home, but they were supposed to be disposable 
and so broke a few meals later.   Inspired, I cut and whittled two 
little pieces from another chopstick into "dumbells", carved out a 
little cradle at the top end of two more pair of chopsticks (think 
Lincoln Logs) and rubberbanded the peices together.  These lasted for 
years, until each girl realized she could manage regular chopsticks. 

Bonne
