A Recipe for Brothers and Sisters
For after the squabble, when everyone is still a bit hot.
Serves two (or more, noisily) · Ten minutes and a bit of cooling
Ingredients
- •Two people who will not go away
- •One turn each, taken properly
- •A pinch of letting them go first
- •Sorry, whole, not the half kind
- •Something shared that neither of you owns
How it's done
- 1
Let it cool. Nothing sets while it's still hot.
- 2
Each say what happened, all the way to the end, without cutting in.
- 3
Find the one thing you both agree on. Start there.
- 4
Take turns. Whoever waited last goes first.
- 5
Share something small. It works faster than talking.
Let them pick first once today.
Nobody does it alone.
