You Know What That’s Like?

My daughter was having a meltdown about the cinnamon sugar not covering her entire piece of buttered toast.

Of course, it did, but some of the sugar dissolved in the warm butter.

The full meltdown was avoided when I pulled out some water and salt to demonstrate how things can dissolve. The maniacally best part? I got to see her have a disgusted face when she tasted the water to realize there was salt still in it despite it dissolving.

She’s never complained about the cinnamon sugar on her toast again. She learned and she enjoyed learning.

I was debating the usefulness of a marketing campaign with a colleague and we were in a disagreement. I changed the topic to compare our strategy to that of another agency working on a fly fishing campaign (my colleague recently went fly fishing). The comparison made total sense and it led her to say something that made my argument about our campaign moot: “but I hate fly fishing.”
