Sushi Anyone?

Yesterday at work an e-mail came around, "sign up for sushi-making class at lunch today, only 15 spots available". Well, of COURSE I couldn't sign up, because 15 students would take priority.

Then at lunch, sitting outside with my colleagues, a concerned-looking, pink-lipstick wearing, abaya-clad student came veering towards our table. 

"You want it miss?" She asked hesitantly, presenting a plate of sushi rolls.  

"You don't want it?" We asked her. She shook her head no. "But you made it?" We asked her. She nodded vigorously. We took the sushi, and then realized that, while all the students probaby enjoy molding fish and seaweed into edible little rice-wasabi packages, most likely not a one of them would want to actually eat their creations. We dug into the sushi with a big smile and a thanks and hoped that another sushi student would wander by, but none did.
