The height of dyspraxic frustration-fancying a tin of rice pudding and you can't work out how to use the can opener !

Well I made a small hole in the top but couldn't open the damn thing. It'll probably go off now. Correct that managed to work it out,but will I remember next time.

I don’t know, but I don’t understand can openers either. And my mother gets mad at me whenever she sees me trying to open a can... she just gets frustrated and impatient, which makes me anxious and ashamed and in the end I usually just give up. I doubt I will ever learn how to do it.
