Job Title: Referee

One of my biggest pet peeves in parenting is as follows:

Child A wants Object 1. Child B wants Object 1. Parent (a) introduces Object 2, intending it to distract and mollify Child B. Now Child B wants Object 2. Child A decides that Object 2 is better than Object 1. Object 1 now lies dejectedly in the middle of the floor as the argument continues over Object 2. Parent (a) shakes head, and proceeds to look for Object C.

Have you ever been: 1) Parent (a); 2) Child A; 3) Object 1?
