I probably would have asked my daughter 6 times if she was sure before we dumped the ingredients in. But brownies are serious business around here. :-) I would have been too much of a control-freak to teach this lesson as you did.

(Though I have to agree with meno that it's a good thing you didn't want a brownie yourself!) It would have taken a lot of restraint to not fix things for her, but had you, the lesson would have been lost. Was it a tough lesson? Yes! But the world is a tough place. Bravo.

Pre-packaged life lessons? Awareness in a box? Imagine the potential! I'm too lazy to e-mail so I'll post an update for you here...I'm on the road for the week. Found a yogi with whom I shared my practice tonight. I have a new asana to share... Hmmmm. Pre-packaged life lessons? Awareness in a box? Imagine the potential!

I did a few of those "hard" lessons with my kids when they were younger and those are the ones that really sunk in. They still talk about them to this very day. Fantastic lesson.

I know that this particular lesson is a really important one for this particular kid but I feel for her. You're already having a shitty day, you make an embarrassing mistake in front of someone important and to top it all off NO FREAKING BROWNIES!!!! If she's not crying I'm giving her points, I'd be reduced to tears. As a matter of fact I generally am, I relearn those sorts of lessons all the freaking time. The world is a big classroom and you never know when you're going to get a pop quiz. That’s like Rule #1A of the internet, isn’t it Rich?
