Failure at using a butter knife to cut french toast

In Clarksdale MS we walked to the Bluesberry Cafe to hear Sunday morning music from Tony Boyd. The French toast was a diagonally split bun. Holding a fork in my left hand is completely impossible, I can't hold anything smaller than 2 inches in diameter.  So I had to pick up the bun in my right hand, let the fruit and whipped cream slide off and dip it in the syrup.  There was zero training on using utinsils in the hospital, I guess we are supposed to starve.
