Parents:-

If you are pushed for time, remember, washing-up usually dries by itself after a while - small children seldom do.

Also:- After a while the dust doesn't get any thicker

And:- If you have to share a treat (sweets/cake etc) between two children and want to avoid the cries of "her share is bigger than mine", get the oldest child to divide the treat and the give youngest first choice. Has never failed for me!
