(

the
Japanese
restaurant
on
Central
avenue
next
door
to
the
main
library
Walking
distance
from
school
she
introduced
me
to
the
concept
of
eating
sushi
there
i
tried
to
teach
her
the
proper
use
of
chopsticks
we
went
once
every
week
for
the
longest
time
i
refused
the
sushi
,
but
she
was
relentless
and
irresistable.
so
i
gave
in
and
ordered
it
from
the
man
at
the
counter.
i
did
not
know
what
the
wasabi
was
and
mistook
it
for
something
possibly
containing avocado
and
appplied
a
liberal
dose
to
the
yellowtail
my
head
felt
like
the
exploding_head_sequence
in
that
cronenberg
movie
"scanners"
and
all
the
air
went
out
of
me
Brenda
sat
across
from
me
,
trying
gamely
to
operate
her
chopsticks
(
it
was
our
deal
that
day
...if
i
got
the
sushi
,
she
would
try
the
sticks)
and
as
i
must
have
looked
like
quite
the
idiot
gasping
from
the
shock
of
the
wasabi
the
look
on
her
face
indicated
that
she
was
torn
between
bursting
into
laughter
and
calling
911
(
either
choice
would
have
been
appropriate
)
as
i
regained
my
breath
,
she
chuckled
softly
and
smiled
at
me
asking
if
i
was
okay
...we
both
started
laughing
like
fools
that
was
a
good
day
