over-eager approach to grabbing chunks of lobster off the serving
platter, causing the oldest (and therefore most authoritative) little
old lady to respond (also in Cantonese), "Shush. Yes, he's grabbing
all the big pieces of lobster, but he's shelling them and putting
them on the plates of his wife and son. _He's_ eating his rice. I
wish _your_ son had manners like that!"


LOL!
Well, it's always nice to know you have good manners in two cultures!
