Chocolates are, I believe, the best food discovered by mankind. Sweet, bitter or something in between! At least my family can gobble down intoxicating amounts of this heaven made on earth. No matter how much we stock it, there’s never enough chocolate in my house.
I know you are wondering why do I have to be so cruel?
I grew up with two other siblings and back in the day, the craze for chocolates and junk food was really high. These foods weren’t purchased as abundantly as they are now. In those days, we 3 siblings were the family favorites and would receive a lot of chocolates as gifts. My mom used to keep them with her and often give us just one bar and would make us share it.
All three of us wanted a bigger share than the other two because I’m the oldest, or I’m the youngest, or I got a smaller share last time, or I always take bigger share … the list of excuses was endless. But instead of a bigger share, we always ‘compromised‘ taking equal shares.
Years later when we parted, as I moved to a different city for my studies, I had unlimited bars of chocolate at my disposal and one fine day, I picked my favourite and sat in a corner of my PG, planning to drown in this river of chocolate – One full chocolate at my disposal and NO ONE to share it with!
To my surprise, I couldn’t finish even half of it. I had to force finish the other half and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would!
Now even when we have a fridge full of chocolates, we ensure that our twins open just one bar of chocolate. We ensure they share it among themselves as this simple trick changed our lives for the best!
What do you think about this chocolate sharing trick? Do you think with all the available resources today Parents should inculcate habits of sharing and nurture sibling bonds?
