Problem solving isn’t as easy as it used to be. There was a time when a rough day at school could be completely resolved with a tall glass of chocolate milk and an episode of, “Family Matters”. Halfway through the show’s opening theme I would once again find myself pondering what happened to Judy Winslow, and before I knew it, my mind would be completely at ease.
This method of problem solving hasn’t translated so well into my adult years. Not to say I haven’t tried! I still catch myself attempting to turn my brain off with reruns of, “Saved by the Bell” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. Kelly and Zach threw my clever plan for a loop when they decided to break up 5 minutes before the end of an episode and flash To Be Continued… up on the screen. I didn’t appreciate that.
Have the problems gotten bigger or have I just become less equipped to deal with them? Boys STILL drive me insane… tests STILL stress me out and I STILL call for my mother when I’m sick. A problem is defined as, “any question or matter involving doubt, uncertainty, or difficulty”. Regardless of the size, a problem requires a solution and a solution involves a choice… and that is a damn scary thing!
