About a year ago, on another drive to town, I explained to Peter about "eat the crust first". It's a concept I probably learned a long time ago, but my Arbonne business has driven the point home. If I want something different than what I've had, I have to DO something different. To get extra-ordinary results, be extra-ordinary. If you want to enjoy the pie, eat the crust first.
So today I say, "the only thing left for you to do is practice piano and do handwriting. How about you practice piano while I take a shower - then we'll all go outside. You can do handwriting later."
He groans. He says, "that's like eating the cheese first!"
What?!?! Cheese? NOOO - it's a pie, not a cheese sandwich! Wrong metaphor!! Oh, guess it still works - that would be 7-yr-old-boy vs. sweets-loving-Momma.
So, he's doing his handwriting. What a wonder of a boy. Hmm, wonder what I should do first.
