One of the reasons I think most of us believe the stories about Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri is because they all seem so logical at the time. “Logical” meaning that when you roll with Xenu, anything’s possible. So even though this report comes from Star, it seems completely plausible. They’re reporting that Suri has gotten it into her head that chopsticks should be used for every kind of food. Not only that, Katie seems to indulge this quirk, carrying chopsticks for Suri at all times, even when Suri wants to eat food that isn’t traditionally a chopstick-friendly item:

A silver spoon isn’t good enough for Suri Cruise. The cultured tot eats exclusively with chopsticks!

Since mom Katie Holmes taught the 3-year-old, “Suri doesn’t like to eat with anything else,” says a source.

During a recent visit to Le Pain Quotidien, “She wouldn’t touch her sandwiches and pastries without them!”

So Katie has started carrying a pair in her purse for her little princess.

“It’s the only way she can get her to eat!”

It seems totally possible, doesn’t it? And not just because of Katie and Tom’s weirdness, but because kids develop those little eating quirks all the time. I certainly had my share when I was a kid, and it certainly helps if you are an actual only child (me) or a lot younger than your siblings (Suri), because then you’re surrounded by adults who indulge your every whim because they think it’s so cute. Taken with Suri’s princess stuff, I can totally buy that whatever Suri wants (“Mama, I WANT chopsticks!”) Suri gets (“Chopsticks, NOW, mama!”). Oh, and I would love to see a three year old try to eat a sandwich with chopsticks. My guess is that there’s a lot of “stabbing” with the chopsticks.
