Was your mother also a scientist, skilled in the field of food portion distribution?

I was at an event recently and saw a mother dividing up a goody amongst her three young children.

Her hands were steady and her eyes were sharp.

These skills were acquired from necessity. With 3 children each looking for their fair share, a mother has no choice but to divide evenly. 

My mom used to have to divide things between 4 of us children.

My mom's mom used to have to divide things between 6 children.

It is pretty clear that any mother with more than 1 child must also be a highly skilled scientist.

Was your mom like is?

If you are a mother, did you do the same thing for your kids?

 I am a Putnamaniac because my mom was most certainly a skilled scientist in the field of equal food portion distribution!
