Jake: Hey, I just saw the last game on the shelf. Anna: Yeah, I need it for tonight. I want to play first! Jake: But I wanted it all week. I even saved my allowance to buy snacks for game night. Anna: Well, I did all the dishes this week. That should count for something. Jake: How about this?

I play first today, then you play tomorrow? Anna: Hmm, okay. That sounds fair. But only if you help me finish the homework now. Jake: Deal! I’ll help if you promise to save some game time for me. Anna: Promise. Let’s make this work.

Both smile knowing they found a good way to share without fighting.
