They gave ME a fork [short story]

Here is a short something I just wrote. I imagined it could be used in class somewhere (especially in Korea or Japan).  Some brief notes follow.

They gave me a fork. I can’t believe it. They gave ME a fork.  When I came in to the restaurant I even said hello in their language. Do they think I am fresh off the boat? Do I look like I don’t know what I am doing? Do I look like just another foreigner? I think it’s so rude they just think I can’t use chopsticks. They don’t even know me. I have been here long enough and I was pretty good with chopsticks even before I came here!  I am so angry. I don’t think I can even enjoy my food. I don’t want to eat food prepared by people like this. They see my white skin and think I don’t even know basics like using chopsticks. It is so frustrating. I like living here but things like this really piss me off. It makes me want to go back home. I would understand if I just got here yesterday or if I hadn’t made the effort to learn the culture and the language. But I am different. I’m not like those other foreigners that come here and expect it to be just like home. I’m here for the cultural experience and part of that is eating with chopsticks. I practiced a lot and I think I deserve to be treated differently than people who just got here. I really don’t know what to do. I guess I will have to find a new place to eat lunch.  

Stats:  

I was aiming for 250 words or so and it came out to be exactly 250. That was nice.

I was aiming for a Flesch Reading Ease of 90 and it came out to be 89.33 so I will call it close enough.

Other stats:
(All from here.)

Coleman Liau index: 4.39
Flesch Kincaid Grade level : 3.39
ARI (Automated Readability Index) : 2.2
SMOG : 7.18

I also played around a bit with http://www.lextutor.ca/ and got this tasty morsel:

“Chopstick has 1 natural occurrences in 10000000 words, but 4 occurrences in your 262-word text, which would work out to (4/262) x 10000000 = 152672 occurrences if your text were the same size as the corpus. The word is thus 152672 / 1 = 152672.00 times more frequent in your text than it is in the reference corpus. This probably means that the word plays quite an important (or ‘key’) role in your text.”

Author’s notes: 

• I thought this might be something interesting for students to respond to. Even though it is only 250 words and written in relatively simple language I think and hope there is a lot to respond to there.
  It seems to me that an exploration of cultural expectations would be a possible direction.
• Piss me off and (fresh) off the boat are likely expressions I would give special attention to as a teacher because it seems they might be more challenging than the rest of the language.
• I used the word just 5 times (5 times out of 250 words) so that is something that might be interesting to explore (especially as the meanings were  bit different in each use). 
  
• I have never been angered by someone giving a me fork.
• In real life, I received a fork yesterday and just smiled and used chopsticks
  (because I thought it was easier for that particular meal). I didn’t take it as an affront.
• Update: Fun pronunciation possibilities playing with stressing different words in the title. THEY gave me a fork.  They GAVE me a fork. ect. ect. ect.
