Soften Some Butter
No one understands time management better than parents of young kids. When everything has to be completed by a certain time and you have to stick to a schedule, you just learn how to multitask. What other option is there? Take this case, for example, where it was almost dinner time and the kids were “starving.”
The water was already boiling for the soup but the butter had just been brought out from the refrigerator and was still hard. The dad had a light-bulb moment and decided the fastest way to melt the butter would be by putting it in the boiling water. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone!
