No. No, it *isn’t* fair. But who said that things were always going to be *fair*? Obligingly letting consequences following actions (good or bad), yes. But fair? Well, “fair” is entirely dependent upon that person’s POV. What is “fair & balanced” to one person, ain’t necessarily so for another.

It’s amazing how well watching “Labyrinth” with us cured my little sister of her “It’s Not Fair” problem… *wry grin*
(“…I wonder what your basis for comparison is.”)
Exactly.
She was complaining that I was making her do housework during her summer break – that it wasn’t “fair”.
*shrug*
Nothing is, little one.
She can stop generating work. That would be fair.
It’s not faaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrr.
