problem solving

This morning, Kenny solved a two-part problem.

At the daycare, I gave him his towel to place on its hook. He toddled over to the row of hooks, but discovered that another child had put a towel on his hook! Giving it a moment's thought, he reached up and put the mis-placed towel on another hook, then put his own away.

No fuss, no drama, just got on with it.

The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they're too old to do it.
