Creative Problem Solving

There are so many ways to solve problems if we just stop to think about it. D6 is visiting D7 this week and this morning the children were quarreling about breakfast. Two wanted chocolate Malt O'meal and another wanted plain Malt O'Meal. There are a lot of ways to solve this. D6 was cooking and she could have flipped a coin. She could have insisted they go with the majority. She could have fixed two pots of cereal. But I like what she did. She cooked the plain and then added chocolate chips for the two who wanted chocolate.

The picture is what she served. Everyone was happy! No more arguing! No one felt cheated.

P.S. (Don't I have some bright daughters!)
