The Shareman of the Family

Posted on April 14, 2014

Madeline was watching Dora with her dad when they heard her two older brothers, 12 and 14, fighting.

Alex said, ”It’s his fault.”
“What?” screamed Toby. ”You hid my iPad! You knew I was looking for it for two days!”

“Since I’m the Chairman of the Family, let me decide who’s at fault. Let’s start from the beginning,” said Dad.

Within ten minutes, Dad, the Chairman, had restored peace between the boys.

The next day five-year-old Madeline asked Toby if she could play on his iPad. “Sure,” said Toby. Five minutes later, he decided he wanted it back and just took it from his little sister’s hands and walked away.

Furious, Madeline said, “But you said I could play with it. You better share it with me or I’ll tell the Shareman of the Family and he’ll make you share it.”

Kids say the darndest things!

Happy Father’s Day, Sharemen, for adding tremendous share value to our lives. 🙂
