Problem-solver

It was fascinating to watch Jacob problem-solve at dinner the other day. He had two quarters of his cheeseburger left. He had one of them in his hand to eat, but the bread had become mangled beyond an ability to securely sit atop his burger any longer.

He tried several times to get the shred of bread resituated, with no success and much frustration! He looked several times back and forth from his burger in his hand to the one piece left on his plate...we thought he had found the obvious solution of just picking up the burger from his plate to eat instead.

But, no...he was "thinking out of the box," (or something)! He simply took the bread off the one on the plate and put it on top of the one in his hand...and as much as we would have liked to see how he handled the last piece with no bread, he was full by then and didn't care!

(This may be one of those "you just had to be there" things...sorry if it is, but since this is our venue for moments we want to remember, I had to record it...it was just too funny to us)!
