when their quesadilla is too hot to eat
leave it to the little ones
to think out of the box.
one holds the quesadilla pieces,
while the other rides the rowing machine
to move the fan to cool the food.
problem solved.
—
for every two minutes on the rowing machine
riding fast to cool the food
you can eat one triangle and call it even.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Does using the rowing machine create an either/ oar situation?

Young children will always come up with intersting solutions to a problem – they stop when they are discouraged by adults.

Leave it to the kids to figure it out! [the adults were probably still sitting around huffing and puffing on the food to cool it].

Is it the fan or the quesadilla? Like the chicken and the egg, I wonder if the good food inspired creative solutions or imaginative minds were hungry for good food. Either way, it’s a great system!
