This week, I am trying to teach my fifth grader the Rule of Three.
At first, she was resistant. Now she's getting it. I didn't learn the Rule of Threee until my 30s.. She is way ahead of me.
The Rule of Three is exaaaaactly that.
So many of us grew up believing in Either-Or.
That leaves us stuck in the box.
Look for the third alternative. Life is NEVER either-or. Always we have a third or more alternative. Three is good. Three is simple. I can deal with that.
So how are you doing with Either-Or?
What would the third alternative be? Is that the one that works? Bet it is, but don't rule out fourth, fifth or sixth alternative. You just don't have to rely on old Either-Or.
We are humans. Isn't that astonishing? We have so many choices if we choose.
We do choose.

You are such a good grandmother to teach a child about this idea. I had actually never heard of it, so you taught me something, too. I googled "Rule of Three" and found that there are a lot of definitions--and they are all over the map, for sure. Some gave me the giggles (the Urban Dictionary one).
