clever, must try this with my kids.
the pieces may not be even this way. in my experience kids rarely cut anything equally it is just a fair way of dividing the cake
This is how my mom kept the peace. When my brother got to pick, you'd better believe I tried to make those pieces even!
i would take the option of picking rather than cutting
Great Teaser, Fun and usuable knowledge. Good Job
When did you get into my mom's mind? I liked it, and it was easy for me since this is always what has happened with me!
There's a TV commercial like this where there is one piece of bread left and the older boy cuts it and the younger chooses! haha
